John,
   The mailer deamon didn't like your address, So I will have to post it on the net.
   Some people might be interested in this anyway. To all the other users, sorry
   for taking up the extra bandwidth.

   Here are the steps I followed when I did my upgrade and fixed my DL (somewhat).

  1) Formatted my drive (Because It is a new drive and will replace my boot drive)
  2) Ran 2.1 version of BuildDisk on the drive.
  3) Ran 3.0 upgrade from CD Rom.
  4) Rebooted machine with new drive and 3.0 installed.
  5) Gave the "me" account a passwd and gave "root" a password.
  6) Rebooted again.
  7) Logged on as root.
  8) Started reindexing my DL files and added the Man pages from "/NextLibrary/Documentation"
     to the Bookshelf of DL.
  9) System hung when trying to index Man pages.
 10) exited DL and restarted. Got a weird alert that contained the path "/usr/lib/indexing/..."
 11) Noticed that the "indexing" directory did not exist on the new drive or CD ROM.
 12) Went to the other drive and found the "indexing" directory and copied it over to the
     new drive in "/usr/lib".
 13) Quit DL and restarted it. 
 14) Tryed to index my man pages and Voila it worked.

Note, I used the "delete" index file option and selected "setup" to reindex. I did not use the
reindex option in the panel. 

I listed the steps I used to try to make it clear as to what I did. Hopefully, it will give
you some ideas. I just got lucky when the alert came up. If you still can't get it to
work after reading this, I wouldn't know how to help you.

Good Luck,

               Dan Brown (dbbrown@eastrg2.cray.com)
