Aborted 3.0 upgrade...

    Yesterday, I upgraded our '040 Turbo from 2.2 to 3.0 using a Mac
CD-ROM and the "automatic" upgrade method. 

    Things appeared to work as they should until the very end. Then
the install said it was running a "postprocessing script" and went off
into hyperspace for a couple of hours. 

    I had a spinning cursor at this point, so I wasn't able to click
on the "stop" button. When it became clear that this script was going
run until the end of time (or until NeXT delivers my back-ordered
CD-ROM drive -- whichever comes first), I tried killing the process
and finally just rebooted the system.

    It came up in 3.0 without any obvious ill effects. But I am
concerned that the "postprocessing script" was working on something
when I aborted and that there may be things I should take care of.
I'd be prepared to run the whole thing again, but the upgrade app
tells me that it should only be run on 2.x disks.

    Should I be concerned about this? Is there a way to rerun the
upgrade?

    Michael
