Well cool! Thanks for that idea.

The -s on update, and then on upgrade after I actually ran update,
produced nothing that scared me too badly, so I did the upgrade (still
running). Meanwhile, I had my backup server pull all my actual data off
my computer.

I haven't decided yet whether to install Epoch before I reboot, just in
case whatever init I have now fails the next time I boot.

Thanks,
