Some links: Announcement of the 0.20.0 release http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=319997 Announcement of the 0.20.1 release http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=325812 Upgrading seems rather straightforward; stop POPfile, backup its directory in its entirety, and unzip the new release over the old. The now-required BerkeleyDB Perl module is in contrib in RPM form, as "perl-BerkeleyDB". Best to install that first. When POPfile next runs after the upgrade, it will convert the database file's format over. I can't offer any specific experience as regards the upgrade, as I had never tried the app until today, and opted for the current version. :) -- Bill Mullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] MA, USA RLU #270075 MDK 8.1 & 9.0 "In the beginning the Universe was created.
