Base upgrade for 1.1
The following script has been used by me, to upgrade my R6 system to 1.1
for the base packages. This should give some idea as to the proper order
of installation for success.

Be careful about answering "yes" to replacing the following config files:
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
/etc/inittab
I have let all the other config files overwrite the old, with no ill effects.
The lilo installation is left for last. Be sure you know what you are
doing when you answer these questions.
I use loadlin, so I say no to all the installation options.
Your milage may vary :-)
As you can see from the ancient sig (below) this is being sent from my
upgraded R6 system.
Next? I need to see how hard it is to upgrade the development system.
Later,
Dwarf
