Thanks!
I haven't tested it extensively, but I was able to successfully install
a brand new 1.7 system (just Base and a few devel tools so far)
alongside my existing 1.5. Now all we need is the new gcc, and the
long-awaited rebuild can begin.
I noticed one minor thing, which I'm not sure if it's a bug or feature:
~ whatever created the default /etc/fstab similar to the 1.5 mount points
in the registry also made mount points for 1.5 managed mounts. These
were useless to me as I was creating a brand new install, so I removed
them. But would they be necessary even if someone was upgrading in the
same root? If not, perhaps they should be ignored when creating the
initial /etc/fstab?
