(Sigh.) I upgraded my slab yesterday and I am having a few problems. First a word of advice: when you do the upgrade, and the Upgrade_3.0.app gets to the point where it says "running postprocessing script", DON'T TOUCH WORKSPACE! I inadvertently did so and hung the machine pretty bad. (I had to "mon" out from the nmi monitor - halt wouldn't work.) Now my UpradeLog is missing some stuff. I have everything up to and including the line: > Upgrade complete at Mon Sep 14 14:20:04 1992 but am missing this: (taken from another machine's UpgradeLog) > Updating NetInfo database local.nidb: > Updating user accounts...18 accounts > Creating /locations/renderers... > Updating /rpcs... > Removing decode alias... > Creating /localconfig... > NetInfo changes complete. Checking sizes for languages... > Languages require 11462K, and 7809K are available. > There isn't enough space to install all the languages. > Checking size for English help... > English help requires 3722K, and 7809K are available. > Installing English help... > Postprocessing complete at Tue Sep 15 12:56:58 GMT-0400 1992 > Upgrade complete. > I have noticed some odd behavior. For example, my print panels don't include the LocalPrinter hooked up to my NeXT anymore (although nppower still works). So, is there anyway I can run the postprocessing script without actually restarting the upgrade? I tried to peek inside Upgrade_3.0.app to see if I could find the "script" but didn't find it. If I can't do this, I'll have to start over by first restoring my drive to 2.1 from my backup and redo the entire upgrade. A rather unpleasant proposition...
