Upgrades are difficult when you stay within the same distro. Switching distros and trying to do an upgrade is something I would only suggest to a guru who has many many hours to waste. Figure out what systems are critical and back them up. Then do a fresh install and restore your apps. Fight the upgrade battle from that front. It has been the most sane approach for me. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Hardhats-members mailing list Hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hardhats-members
