tlug: TurboLinux 1.0J -> 1.4J Upgrade




This is kind of stupid, and it's my fault, so I'll warn you about it
first.  If you are running TurboLinux 1.0 on an all-SCSI system (ie, you
boot from a SCSI partition and it requires the initrd support to load the
scsi module to mount the root filesystem), and you want to do the TL 1.4J
upgrade, make sure that you do a 'modprobe loop' right before running
'upgrade' from the CD, or the upgrader won't be able to recreate initrd,
which will make your system non-bootable.

(sigh) at least it's a simple fix.
