- This issue came up before, but I don't think anything was offered
- as a good solution, only some bad solutions were pointed out.
- The issue is this: IS THERE ANY EASIER/FASTER TO UPGRADE A NUMBER
- OF MACHINES (5-100) BESIDES ONE AT A TIME? What do the "big boys"
- at SGI Corp Hdq's do when going from 4.0.1 -> -> -> 4.0.5F now
- that you have ditched your MacIntoshes for Indigos?
-
- Thanks.
