Normaly us neither, however it failed dismally for us to do a disk
upgrade, just as well we took the copy from our tape so we could leave the
actual box active before drive swap, id hate to have to do this upon a
drive failure on the actual server itself, a complete waste of time, lilo
is going on it today, as we know lilo works with our backup/upgrade
procedures.
