That only if you upgrade right? The thing is that if you manually migrate stuff later you need to do a lot of chown:ing. And copying/synching files between machines won't work as easily anymore because there's no more static uid/gid:s. The only way to make a "server farm" with identical Mandrake machines from now on is to a.) use disk cloning, b.) use replay_install.img or c.) use your own setup rpm (your own distro...). This is a bad move Mandrake... -- Regards // Oden Eriksson Looking for a scalable and error free (q)mail solution?, look no further, visit http://d-srv.com
