Hi,
Hi Simone,
Things that requires testing: - Updating: the x11->xorg switch is totally untested at this time. Some volunteer to test a 2.2->2.3 upgrade?
I have tested an upgrade on my notebook (hp omnibook 6100), which was still running CRUX 2.1. :-) It works so far, except an udev-related problem: The udev-package was not installed by the setup script, so i had to install it manually. Second trap were the old entries in the inittab. I had to change the console lines from: c1:2:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 vc/1 linux to: c1:2:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux to get a login promt. And starting Xorg (with my old config) fails with the following error: (EE) Failed to load module "pcidata" (module does not exist,0) Fatal server error: Unable to load required base modules, Exiting... I will investigate the problem this weekend.

I think the setup script only supports upgrades from the previous CRUX release. So going to 2.2 first, and then updating to 2.3 should have worked.
And starting Xorg (with my old config) fails with the following error:
(EE) Failed to load module "pcidata" (module does not exist,0)
Fatal server error: Unable to load required base modules, Exiting...
Do you override your module path in xorg.conf? You shouldn't :) I guess you set it to /usr/X11R6/something. Regards, Tilman -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

ok - xorg works now after doing the following: changing pathes in the "Files"-section in xorg.conf: ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/...." indexing fonts: # for i in `ls -d /usr/lib/X11/fonts/*`; do `mkfontdir $i` `mkfontscale $i`;done # fc-cache Next issue: The port-drivers for {core, opt, contrib} were not updated. So a "ports -u" syncs with the old repositories. Last problem for today: since the upgrade i can't login as root. Normal users can login. And becomming root via "su" also works. Any ideas what's the reason for this?

D'oh, had forgotten about those. Should the setup helper script do these changes? One possible reason against doing that is that there might be more settings that need to be adjusted, and listing all of them will be a PITA :)
indexing fonts: # for i in `ls -d /usr/lib/X11/fonts/*`; do `mkfontdir $i` `mkfontscale $i`;done # fc-cache
I wonder where in the handbook that should go. What about having a section 3.5 that says "After the first boot"/"After the installation" or something?
Next issue: The port-drivers for {core, opt, contrib} were not updated. So a "ports -u" syncs with the old repositories.
Running "rejmerge" should suggest to upgrade the rsync files for these repositories (they aren't replaced by default).
