#2159

    OK, ealier I reported how my 2.2->3.0 upgrade seemed to run the
first 99.99% without problems, then said "running postprocessing
script..." and went into hyperspace. I tried a few things to kill it
and then rebooted the system.

    It was suggested that I run the Update application again and let
it tidy up whatever loose ends might have been left. I did this and
the install went looping off into eternity once again. (Actually,
twice. I _am_ thorough.)

    This time, however, I discovered the Workspace Console tool. It
said...

Software Version 3.0 (Hyper3B)

Dec 17 14:24:44 malahat syslog: netinfo failure, sleeping

    It looks like the netinfo failure is what the script is
encountering and I'm a bit confused. My machine is configured as a
simple network installation. I'm not part of a netinfo network.
 
    Can you please suggest what I should do now? (As I mentioned
earlier, 3.0 _appears_ to be running properly, but I hate loose
ends...)
