I want to migrate to 7.x, and my plan is to put 7.12.1 (which I believe is the stepping off point for migrating 6.x configurations) on a spare 450gx4 I have, replace my existing 6.latest 450gx4 with that, and then once I've assessed performance get something more modern.
So I have taken the spare, unused 450gx4, which claims to have 512MB of NAND flash, and updated it. Or not: not enough space.
For various reasons it will be painful to use netinstall, but if I have to I'll do that. In the meantime, what I have donw is downgraded to 6.44.1 and then gone back to 6.49.13 with "unbundling" so that the device only has system, routing, dhcp and security on it,
[[[ reboot: I can't catch the message on the serial, but... ]]
but there's plenty of space
I guess I'll need to use Netinstall (I don't have a machine to run it on handy, although I can get one) but it'd be nice to make this work.
