I have had no luck in getting the workstation 3.1.1 ISO's that so many have been getting. I keep getting turned away because the iso server is full up with users logged on...
However, on one of the mirrors I found the WS311 rpms and srpms and grabbed those. The ones I actually used to upgrade my ws31, were the 3.1.1 RPMS. After carefully removing the ones I didn't want... I simply issuded: rpm -Uvh --replacefiles --replacepkgs --force and after a bit of wait for the packages to install... I eventually got my console back and did a: shutdown -r now When the macine came back up... I had WorkStation 3.1.1 running. :') The packages I didn't upgrade were the kernel and xfree.. I already had updated stuff running, no sense in overwritting my hard work. I had to go around and do a little clean up. My custom compiled copy of samba 2.2.2 was in a different location than WS311, all I had to do was move smb.conf to the caldera location and restart smbd. One other note... the ws311 provided acpi daemon fails to work correctly on the compaqs I host. Over-writing the caldera copy with the one from acpid-20010510 fixed it. Shutdown with either -r or -h now works as expected. All in all, fairly painless. unsupported upgrade of Workstation 3.1 to 3.1.1.
