Howdy!
Currently have a SCO 5.0.5 with some very valuable stuff in it. I want to step up to 5.0.6 (want perl and can't compile it ... problems with gcc).
Now, I am trying to avoid backup, restore and all that mumble jumbo - if I can help it.
I have noticed when installing SCO that I get to a point where asked if FRESH or UPDATE. I've always done fresh and never an update. That said, I ask, what would be of my HD content if I
1. Boot from CD
2. Install and choose UPDATE
Of course, I would not even attempt this without a full backup (several of them). I guess I am asking more so to know what kind of time frame to put aside or to satisfy my curiosity about this option.
Thank you all in advance!
