Well my problem was that the system I wanted to overwrite had a defect
CDrom, but was still running something like 4.x without rpc.lockd really
working. Why don't know ....
But since I was desperate to upgrade I stopped the installprocess to
replace lockf with a dud shellscript. That got me thru.
I'm sure it is needed for one reason or another, but would be nice it
one could overrule it.
