I haven't tried the 6.10.1 install, but after using the 6.8.3 pkg followed by the 6.10 RC1 pkg, followed by the 6.8.3 pkg, I have just 608 in the directory you mention. I guess I should try the 6.10.1 install. If I have to reinstall 6.8.3 again, not the end of the world for me. > And while we are at it...a BIG FAT WARNING: > > If you installed the 6.10.200081007 pre-release installer package, > uninstall that *before* installing the 6.10.1 package. Okay thanks. Although, I don't think that will be a problem for me given the directories I can see.
