Date: 30 Jan 1996 18:06:30 GMT Organization: University of California, Santa Barbara Lines: 19 Message-ID: <4elmn6$s0h@ucsbuxb.ucsb.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: beauty.mcl.ucsb.edu I have a 2.0.5 system running perfectly, but figured I should upgrade. I am not touching my production machine, so grabbed a pentium/120, threw in a 700meg hard drive, put a 3com etherlink III 3c509 card in it and booted the BOOT disk. Got all the way to media, put FTP (I have a direct full-time connection) and then it said, "YOU HAVE SELECTED A SERIAL LINK." What the hell is that? Previous versions would ask how you wanted to install, you would select sl0 or ep0. This one assumes serial? How do I upgrade using my ethernet connection over the internet? Please help. Also, I installed a conner 4gig tape drive last night in my production machine to back it up. I was wondering exactly how it does the backup and if I can label certain backups (ie /usr/local and /home) so that i can retrieve only what I want. Loren
