Hi, Background : I need to install a 2.4-based system. Mandrake loox best to me. Constraint : I won't have time to do backup all the changes that I make to the install, therefore I cannot "reinstall" from scratch. Dilemma : If I install now, what kind of issue could come up between now and Mdk8 release which would require me to "install" instead of "upgrade" ? The only thing I can think of is that Mdk8's newer pkgs will imply packages' configurations which will break old configs, thus the system will become "inconsistent" from pkg config perspective (e.g. glibc in Mdk8 release was built with different set of locales than Mdk8 cooker, causing some problems ... I'm making this up, as I don't know what kind of inconsistencies would I most likely run into.) So should I wait and install Mdk8 release ? Question : What kind of problems could I run into if I "upgrade" into Mdk8 release from current Mdk8 cooker, instead of doing fresh reinstall of Mdk8 release ?
