So just finished upgrading the Law Foundation’s FirstClass server from 8.2 through 8.3 to 9.0. Seven and a half hours to back the bastich up (pointed out it needed a damned good defrag.. have fired that off..), then FIVE MINUTES to do the upgrade! Gotta say I was bloody impressed!!
Couple of hitches – most notable being it removed ‘WWW Client’ access from the ‘All Users’ group.. That would have caused a few hiccups, but sorted now.. Also, will be interesting, it remodelled all users desktops to force them to their group’s model desktop layout… Will see if we get any complaints about that!
Gotta say I love the automatic client upgrade feature.. Finished the upgrade, and then logged in with my 8.2 client, and bingo, it goes ‘you need to upgrade your client, click OK to continue’, and voila, 5 mins later it’s downloaded and upgraded me to V9.0!
You know, this month, it’s 13 years since I first started using Firstclass – originally on version 2.6 on a 300 baud manuall-dial modem using the IEAust’s EOL BBS!

Well that was easy!
Woohoo, done! (for now ;)
Well she’s all done (except the headlights/high beam takeoff, but that can wait for a week or so 🙂 ), and road tested!!
Almost there!
Ok, the roof basket is on, and wired in (though the under-bonnet wiring still has to be done) – just have to align the lights tomorrow night once it’s wired.. I’ve mounted my 45 degree corner lights, and run cables for them, and I’ve re-cabled the bumper-mounted driving lights.. Some pics 🙂
Hahah, those are big!
So I just finished mounting up the ‘offroad’ (i.e. they aren’t exactly adr compliant) driving lights to the roof basket.. They were a little larger than I’d judged.. Will have to add a couple of extra bits of steel to mount the side lights off!
Phew!
Good lord, I’m almost done! Fuses went in, cutout switches were turned on, and everything works!. Some photos 😉
