Biting another bullet
I upgraded the Ultra 5 to OpenBSD 3.6. Some notes for next time:
The machine doesn’t boot from the floppy, use the cd-rom image instead.
Don’t just delete the entries in
/var/db/pkg
, cleanly remove old packages withpkg_delete -q /var/db/pkg/\*
instead. Or in other words, RTFM.
Now I just need to get tramp
working so that I can edit these posts
in greater comfort and security.
Update: I discovered I need the latest X stuff too, for
ghostscript. I can’t remember if the installation tgz sets should be
handled specially, I just did a tar xzf xbase36.tgz -C /
and hoped
for the best.
