There is a trick to this.  If you update a IX server, 9.2 machines will
not be able to execute the pieces of unix that are linked to that 9.5
server.

For example, most of my machines have a link for etc to //h/bsd4.2/etc.
As soon as I updated //h/bsd4.2/etc the 9.2 machines which had links to
this etc directory could not execute commands out of etc anymore.

The thing to do is bring up full 9.5 on a machine that has no other
machines linked to it (or machines linked to it you don't care about for
a while) and install it from there.  Then do your IX servers last.

I also found the /etc/syslog.conf to be in error.

Other than that, the install went very smoothly.  If you have a custom
optional software tape, have something to do while you wait for it to
look all over the tape with each software package.  If I had some extra
time, I would write a "real" installation procedure.
