That flipped me out!
I never use the "Upgrade" option on distro CDs. I too got very badly burnt trying to upgrade from COL2.2 to 2.3, and it took me the better part of a month to recover. I generally upgrade everything manually now, rebuilding from the SRPMs. It avoids having wacky upgrade scripts break things, and gives me a more optimized system. Sure, it might take a few days of work, but in the end, its worth it. As for the CDROM icons, i have no real idea. I haven't seriously used KDE in over a year. My only guess is some kind of filesystem corruption. I've never used ReiserFS, who i can't say for sure what kinds of bad foo it may have. I've always had very good results with XFS, which i use on two of my boxes. ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
