Hi,

 Background :
   I need to install a 2.4-based system. Mandrake loox best to me.

 Constraint :
   I won't have time to do backup all the changes that I make to the
install, therefore I cannot "reinstall" from scratch.

 Dilemma :
   If I install now, what kind of issue could come up between now and Mdk8
release which would require me to "install" instead of "upgrade" ? The
only thing I can think of is that Mdk8's newer pkgs will imply packages'
configurations which will break old configs, thus the system will become
"inconsistent" from pkg config perspective (e.g. glibc in Mdk8 release was
built with different set of locales than Mdk8 cooker, causing some
problems ... I'm making this up, as I don't know what kind of
inconsistencies would I most likely run into.)
   So should I wait and install Mdk8 release ?

 Question :
   What kind of problems could I run into if I "upgrade" into Mdk8 release
from current Mdk8 cooker, instead of doing fresh reinstall of Mdk8 release ?


      Thanks,

         Jan
