Mark has never said that upgrades would always screw up things; He just said that upgrades should not be trusted. I.e.: sometimes it succeeds, sometimes it doesn't. Mark is not the only one that thinks so; I, for example, have never used a ful upgrade. Of course, it is a very hard task to install a new system from scratch, then install all the extras that you have installed on the old machine, then merge old configuration files with the virgin new ones, then let the machines run in parallel for a few days, and only after ensuring that all the old behavior is kept, throw the old machine. It requires a lot of time, and when there are not two machines it is even harder. But the quality is much higher. -- Eli Marmor [EMAIL PROTECTED] CTO, Founder Netmask (El-Mar) Internet Technologies Ltd. __________________________________________________________ Tel.: +972-9-766-1020 8 Yad-Harutzim St. Fax.: +972-9-766-1314 P.O.B. 7004 Mobile: +972-50-23-7338 Kfar-Saba 44641, Israel ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
