Re: Let's talk about upgrading... Problems...
Seems upgrading is not gonna work... This system only
has a single 1.2 Gb Hd and not enough room in the /usr
partition for upgrading. Doing the 7.3 simple upgrade
steps has made the machine unable to boot, now. I have
a surplus 6.4 Gb HD, but what should I do now. I'm
afraid I just ruin this dude's stuff. Booting from the
7.3 CD doesn't seem to help - I thought I could just
install the 'new' HD and move the /usr partition onto
the CD, but now I'm feeling like a total ID10T.
Please help...
