Thanks, Did the three steps - now running r3 I guess. Interestingly creating the boot floppy seems to have awry.
It asked me if I wanted to format the floppy. I answered yes. At some point it threw up an error message saying "mformat not found" It did some more stuff, printed more message lines, including some that indicated the number or records in and number of records out. Wished I hadn't rebooted so fast and made a copy! I assume that the format would have been msdos - but is that necessarily true? -rick -----Original Message----- From: Ethan Benson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] . . . upgrading from r0 or r1 or r2 to r3 is as simple as: apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.19 . . .
