We have ver. 8.0 liftoff!

Userconf very nicely complied with my requests to nuke those, and it 
mirrored back to me (a nice feature) when it succeeded in the second 
and third cases. But that did it; my version 8.0 kernel booted 
without a hitch.

I'm wondering now how best to bring the rest of the system into sync 
with ver 8.0; it originated in my install of 7.1.2. I have managed 
to get a lot of basic configuration chores completed. I'd like to 
spare them destruction at the hands of a stupid upgrade, i.e. one 
master-minded by ME.

I feel ok about changing my pkgsrc host and cvs-upping the 
/usr/pkgsrc tree. It's the userland I worry about. All suggestions 
will be accepted with great applause.

Thank you, and the entire group here on the list!
