the same things are done twice that's too bad, but you will be safer than when trying to maintain your own basXX.tgz etc., and keeping it in sync with the main dist. Upgrades are an automation nightmare, Linux distros claim they can do it but they can't (goes wrong more often than not - I've stopped installing updates on my Ubuntu-driven desktop, which saves me lots of reinstalls). I would simply reinstall, after having distilled a working config from a test system. Bill Maas
