It really depends on the libraries being backward compatible though. Would not recommend doing the upgrade in stages: it only guarantees you have an untested combination until you've completed everything. -- Martin --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 30 years from now GNU/Linux will be as redundant a term as UNIX/MERT is today. - Martin Habets --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
