Hard to guess.. I have a PIII w/ 128M of ram and it takes around an hour
or so...

No.
You just have to reboot for the "installworld" step.
Consult /usr/src/UPDATING (around line 390) for the right procedure.

As said, just the time it takes to installworld, which is much less than
it takes to buildworld, let's say a dozen of minutes...


Ok  this has run  2 times with the same result-  is this a "sign"  that my
box is doomed for disaster- sysinstall upgrade failed - the CD upgrade
failed - and now CVS upgrade is failing-

Is there anywhere that would tell me WHY its failing?
