I don't think I'm going to be able to test this, I've got random dysfunction to worry about. The ethernet failures came back a few hours after I unplugged the usb drive yesterday (which has been perma-connected the last few weeks). On the next boot the machine's keyboard stopped working after I connected with drawterm, and just now I found connections on port 80 are timing out where they were fine yesterday. I'm going to go through with my upgrade and watch for errors after that. I also want to back up to my linux machine daily but I'm not entirely sure how. Copying files which exist in the latest dump dir but not the previous one seems sensible. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) I'm not sure what to put the files into at the Linux end as I want to preserve history. I could use vac with p9p's venti I guess, or I could run cwfs in a vm. (Or kfs in a vm. ;) I think I would prefer cwfs, any thoughts?
