Yes. Remember to install all patches, virus checkers, signature updates etc. etc. from behind a nice, safe firewall (see https://isc2.sans.org/survivaltime.html and http://www.sans.org/rr/papers/index.php?id=1298) Your system is dual-boot? Re-installing windows will nuke your bootloader (probably grub or lilo). You'll have to reinstall it afterwards. Of course, to reinstall it you gotta boot linux first (chicken and egg :-) Make a linux boot disk and/or have a live CD (http://www.knoppix.org/) handy before you start. > > > I naively did this unzipping already when I wanted to upgrade the YEPP > studio... > The sum of the folders + files sizes looks about the same as the size > of the zip archive.
