I started this discussion to see I could ehnace either my knowlegde and/or
improve on the upgrade strategy for doing upgrades via NFS.
being suggested RTFU several times now, I think I'm going to print it.
Put it under my pillow during next week's vacation, and see if I've returned
any wiser. :)

Just for my info and understanding:
    signal 12:
    #define SIGSYS          12      /* non-existent system call invoked */

So that suggests running an install(1) calling the kernel, but the kernel
is not recent enough to have that call onboard.

Correct??
So that could mean a 5.2_install trying to run on a 5.1 kernel??

thusfar thanx for all the help....
