Hi Adam, I had terrible problems upgrading an old RH version due to all the changes in the RPM database. You might be better off backing up all the data, and assume that all the executables will break! The database change happened in RH7 I think. Maybe keep a full backup and be prepared to re-install it if the upgrade doesn't.

If you can upgrade it to 9.0, is there anything you need to watch out for that may kill the system? Cheers, Adam. PS. Yes I am in Perth now, but I just love the SLUG crowd, so I hope you dont mind if I keep posting here...;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTICES This email (including any documents referred to in, or attached, to this email) may contain information that is personal, confidential or the subject of copyright or other proprietary rights in favour of Aristocrat, its affiliates or third parties.
