Upgrading from a previous Internet FastStart system

Upgrading from a previous Internet FastStart system

When you reinstall your Internet FastStart Release 1.0 or 1.1 system as an SCO OpenServer system, any specialized configuration of sendmail, ppp, and Netscape servers is lost. However, if you follow the shown procedures before you install your SCO OpenServer system, you can bring most of the previous configurations forward without needing to manually reconfigure the system.


NOTE: You must perform a fresh install of SCO OpenServer Release 5 using your new license key. Licenses from previous Internet FastStart releases will be rejected by SCO OpenServer as invalid.

The general multi-step process for migrating from Internet FastStart to SCO OpenServer is:

  1. Perform a complete backup of the system to be reinstalled and verify that the backup was successful. See ``Running unscheduled filesystem backups'' in the System Administration Guide.

  2. From the system to be reinstalled, save to floppy disk any sendmail, ppp, and Netscape configuration files that you want to bring forward to the new system.

  3. Install SCO OpenServer on your system, following the instructions described in Chapter 2, ``Installing or upgrading an SCO system'' in the SCO OpenServer Handbook.

  4. Use the Internet Manager to restore your basic system configuration.

  5. Restore the files you saved to floppy disk in step 2.

This upgrade from an SCO Internet FastStart system to SCO OpenServer is a multi-step process, described in:
