Updating from an old server with 5.01 to a new server with Openserver 6.0
After getting the hardware sorted out ( raid - too bad its not a bug killer ) I installed OS 6.0 from the distribution cd . All went well . Before loading MP4 I ran the software manager to verify the software and verify the system. Under strict database compliance and modified configuration files i receiver 107 files with discrepancies and 197 total discrepancies , all modified size and check sum errors ( not fixable by the software manager) .
I reinstalled several times with the same result .
( 6 times - i am stubborn )
I then went ahead and installed MP4 ( distribution cd ) which seems to work .
I have not loaded any further patches to this point ( there are some ) ,
Again ran the software manager with an approximate doubling of the file size and checksum errors .
I would think that this should not be happening , especially before putting the system into use. I am not a computer tech but my searching has been fruitless ( aplawrence and many other sites including SCO ) .
There is probably a simple answer . Enlightenment would be appreciated !
