For those of you running AFS, here are the facts:
  I wanted just to examine what was on my 3.0 CD, read the instructions  
carefully, taking note of the warning about removing AFS before upgrading  
to 3.0.  But that warning was given *after* the instructions for using the  
3.0 floppy to install the software needed to read the CD, and *after* the  
instructions for inserting the CD and looking for the Upgrade3.0  
application.  So I figured as long as I didn't actually start up the  
Upgrade application, I could have a look what was on the CD.
   Unfortunately, by inserting the floppy that prepares your system to  
read the CD, and restarting your machine afterwards like it asks you, the  
system won't restart, that is, if you were connected to the AFS hierarchy  
on the intenet.  The restart hung at "Starting System Services", and to  
get past this I had to type a control-C.  
  When I finally got logged on, I saw that all the AFS subdirectories were  
no longer functioning (they appeared as broken links).  So all the  
information, literature, and software that was stored on other machines  
throughout the country but which appeared as part of my file structure got  
clobbered.  
  What a loss!  I thought 3.0 was suppose to improve the networking  
capabilities of the NeXT.  If it allows us to connect to Appletalk at the  
price of losing AFS, it is no bargain for me.
