Do some timings, then a fresh virgin install, and tell us all how
much difference it makes.
If "Upgrade" causes slowness, then I would rather do it the hard way.

I just doubleclicked this in 2.1 and then clicked on "Make".
Boom! There I was looking at a Login window.
Perhaps that is why it is gone.

Using "Workspace" in 2.1, with the new CDROM driver and a Sun CDROM drive,
I copied the Q2 1992 Demo CDROM to an empty hard disk.
Both locally attached. After the copy:
/dev/rsd3h            630000  630000       0   100%    /Q2_92_2 (CDROM)
/dev/sd1a             667719  292099  308848    49%    /Q2_92   (HD)

It took 4 1/4 hours for the actual copy to start,
and another 20 hours before it was finished.
This does seem a tad slow.
