Just received my subscription disk. The documentation on upgrading is a 
bit thin but rather dire sounding. Guess I'm a bit unclear on how to 
proceed with it. If I mount the new cd is there a program on it some 
where I can invoke to get into the setup stuff or do I need to create teh 
boot and fixit diskettes and start at that level. I assume I primarily 
just need a copy of the new source tree to compile as well as the new 
support programs. 

I haven't dug around on the cd a lot yet but if anyone else has any tips 
on doing the upgrade I'd be most anxious to hear them before I consider 
going forward with it.
