If the update process "terminates early", chroot in and fight it through, like I did! =:-) Lesson learned from that excercise: don't maverick around and stick to the guideline! Anyhow, an updated rootfs would be very nice-to-have for our new recruits. Mine grew a bit 'fat' unfortunately, so if someone has a more virginal one or is willing to prepare such for the good cause, I'll be happy to put it on ftp!
