Upgrade to 2.3.1 (I am terrified)

Suggestion to Larry & everyone else about microport upgrades:

If you're really worried, why not just go to some subdirectory and
cpio the stuff out?  I'm in the same situation, so what I do is
go to my /usr2 partition and type something like

	cpio -it </dev/rdsk/0s25

to make sure there are no filenames that START with "/" and thent ype

	cpio -idculma </dev/rdsk/0s25

and every file will go to /usr2/etc, /usr2/usr/lib/uucp, etc...

then you can check file modification dates and see what they changed on
you.  What does change (usually just the kernel) can then be examined, and
it will jog a memory or two about what you did.

Larry: you said you had a tape drive, there's no excuse for YOU to not
	make a backup (...I of course have an excuse (grin))
