I am one of the thousands of people waiting patiently for the 3.0 half of my CD-ROM/3.0 Upgrade bundle to arrive. However, I "have access to" a 3.0 CD, because it came with a friend's Station which already had 3.0 installed. There is an "Upgrade_3.0" on the CD, but when you try to run it, it says it wants to be owned by root and be setuid; "see your system manager for assistance". I love that line; I AM THE FRIKIN SYSTEM MANAGER! is my universal reaction. What they really mean to say is, "ask a UNIX weenie for assistance". But I digress. The problem in this case is that I know how to do those things to Upgrade_3.0.app; what I don't know is what instructions I am missing, like "do a rm foo.bar, or your system will self destruct during the upgrade." Can someone let me know what to do? Specifically for 3.0PR2 to 3.0, which I assume doesn't require a floppy. Thanks in advance. --J Gregory
