Sorry about top posting but I'm on the Kindle. How are you set for disk space? Consider creating a new partition and building a new install in a chroot. When it works then change grub and boot it for real. At least that won't hurt your working install. Cheers, Mark On 1/22/12, Grant

If its not being used and outage is not a problem, I would recommend reinstalling. I'm against doying it, but 2 years is a lot, if you have any servers (MySQL, PHP) it would be an issue, you'll have MAJOR changes to X, OpenRC and I'm not even talking about the kernel, udev, etc. I would back it
