Ugh.. 

Backup First
Read the upgrade.txt, and follow EVERY instruction.
Sometimes an instruction may be missing or left out!

I like to check with the FTNs (fsxNet or likewise) first, to see if theres anything to 'look out' for. Especially for the first time moving to a pre-alpha.

Did I mention to BACKUP FIRST?? Always? Its easy to setup an rsync or... however your OS does backups; do so.


It's all a part of the BBS journey. Sorry that you're having to fix things; probably for the umpteenth time. UGH.
