Okay.  What's the easiest way to upgrade userland from the 19990325 
snapshot.    I am already tracking the 1.4_beta kernel.  The only way I can 
boot the install kernel is via bootp/nfs.  This is a big chore and would 
rather not do it.  Can I boot into single-user mode and just extract the 
tar files on top of my installed user files?  I guess the only problem with 
this would be orphaned files left around from the old system.

Thanks.
