>Guys, I just did an upgrade of my system Not that this is any help or consolation to you, but I have yet to see *any* OS "upgrade" go smoothly. I've heard the occasional report of a RH 6.1->6.2 or maybe even 7.2->7.3 upgrade being successful, but if I recall, these upgrades were done on non-critical systems where there really wasn't a lot of accumulated history, etc. On my home systems, as with any work-systems I've ever managed, I always make sure that *any* dynamic data will reside on a separate partition from the OS (i.e. /home, /usr/local) and copy all config files (i.e. /etc/*) to one of these partitions. That way I can essentially wipe the entire system, and re-install from scratch without losing anything important (of course, you do need to remember which partition you put stuff on *and* remember to *NOT* format it during the install :) -- Seeya, Paul -- It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing, but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away. If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right! _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
