Well, having just gotten WB 2.0.3 I am gripped by a nasty choice:
If I install the new software using the install disk, I'll probably
wipe out everything I just spent a week putting back on my already-once
erased hard drive. Is this true?
If I install the new WB using the install disk, will it destroy all the nw
the new libraries that I put in my LIBS: directory? Will it destroy all the
PD software that I have painstakingly gathered to put on my Work: partition?
I want the new software, but I don't want to trash everything I just
fixed!!!!!

Here is what I normally do. 1) Backup my hard disk and the new floppy disks 2) Get into the shell 3) Put the new Workbench Disk in df0: 4) type: copy df0: sys: all (this will copy all of the workbench disk to the appropriate directories) 5) Remove the new Workbench disk 6) Put the new Extras disk in df0: 7) type: copy df0: sys: all 8) Remove the Extras disk 9) Run Update2.x to install the new kickstart 10) Reboot. Operation complete. No need to use the install diskette at all. > > /---------------------------------------------------------------------\ > | -Doug Bischoff- | *** *** ====--\ | "I'm not God... | > | -DEB110 @ PSUVM- | * *** * ==|<>\___ | I was just | > | -The Black Ring- | *** *** |______\ | misquoted!"| > | --- "Wheels" --- | *** O O | -Dave Lister | > | Corwyn Blakwolfe | T.R.I. ------------- | RED DWARF | > \---- DEB110@PSUVM.PSU.EDU D.BISCHOFF on GEnie THIRDMAN on PAN -----/ -mark= +--------+ ================================================== | \/ | Mark D.
