- I am one of the thousands of people waiting patiently for the 3.0 half of my
- CD-ROM/3.0 Upgrade bundle to arrive. However, I "have access to" a 3.0 CD,
- because it came with a friend's Station which already had 3.0 installed. There
- is an "Upgrade_3.0" on the CD, but when you try to run it, it says it wants to
- be owned by root and be setuid; "see your system manager for assistance". I
- love that line; I AM THE FRIKIN SYSTEM MANAGER! is my universal reaction. What
- they really mean to say is, "ask a UNIX weenie for assistance".
-
- But I digress. The problem in this case is that I know how to do those things
- to Upgrade_3.0.app; what I don't know is what instructions I am missing, like
- "do a rm foo.bar, or your system will self destruct during the upgrade." Can
- someone let me know what to do? Specifically for 3.0PR2 to 3.0, which I assume
- doesn't require a floppy.
-
- Thanks in advance.
