Especially since I'm in the middle of doing a successful upgrade on a slackware 2.x system to Debian right now, and I'm going to do a Redhat 3.0.3 system later. Phillip Hands <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has also done this before with an in-place system, and has started on a HOWTO started on how to do it. Sometimes a complete reinstall isn't possible. After all, I'm in California and the machines I'm upgrading are in Mississippi. -douglas -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
