If you have the lists and members in your /home directory and it is a separate partition, then, no problem. If not, you will need to back up everything you want to keep. Upgrade is a bit of a stretch from 7.02 to 7.2 because so many directories changed to comply with the linux standards board (LSB) recommendations. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

UPGRADE or INSTALL I've got majordomo lists...which have members I always recommend a clean install, but you can do it without formatting your home dir depending on how you set up your partitions. If you have one /home your set that way you can keep all your settings or of course you can backup yer home dir as well or if ya don't care wipe it. Just my 2 cents worth hehe
Re: [newbie] 7.2 install help
install. i have heard that upgrade can take forever. and besides the new kde 2.0 and koffice and all u just dont need much more. im starting to break down. soon i will buy the 7.2 at the store. someone stop me please Why? Don't you have a cd burner? You get a more complete version from the ISOs than from the Macmillian release, even if you lucked out and found one with KDE2.0 Final. The only thing the retail has that the ISO doesn't is StarOffice, and you can download that. Manuals? We doan need no stinking manuals! :)
