Yes. In general installing a snapshot will just work. Most of the config adjustments will happen automatically with sysmerge (but some you need to do by hand). Also it can be required to remove files or users, again this needs to be done by hand but often does not hurt (until it does and then it causes strange issues). In general if you install from snapshots most of current.html does not apply and this is why it is the prefered way to stay -current. -- :wq Claudio
