Well,
It looks like I'm out of luck. For the most part everyone agreed
that this was not possible on the version of T64 I am running (T64 5.1
PK1). However, a couple of people mentioned that as of T64 5.1A (PK?)
there was a no role upgrade option, but I have not looked into it yet
(though as I was writing this someone wrote in saying that they had used
the no-roll option to install the latest sendmail patch on 5.1B and it
worked well and quickly).
Thanks everyone for your quick responses.
Paul
