The binary upgrade started from the 6.0-RELEASE CD-ROM didn't work, but 
using 6.1-RELEASE floppies was successful.  I peaked at the debug screen 
and saw how it gets done:  The GENERIC .ko's get put into a separate 
directory, then there's an 'rm -rf /boot/kernel' and then the GENERIC 
directory is moved to /boot/kernel.  I presume that doing it from 
sysinstall in a running 6.0 system, the 'rm -rf' fails in spite of the 
force flag.  You'd think the 6.0 CD ought not to have that problem, but 
I'm not sure if it fetched the .ko's from 6.1 even though it got 
everything else from 6.1.

Thanks for your help.
