And if you upgrade from 2, then be very, very patient. You will see a lot of errors when booting and and you need to wait for timeouts to happen. The /usr move kind of happens randomly. You may need to try a few times. Calculate about 1/2 hour to boot, but eventually you should get there. This is on a virtual box. -- Best regards Thomas Spuhler
