Andre, That's a nice jump your thinking about making, I would suggest 1st. backing up your IMPORTANT FILES, next do a fresh install..(do NOT delete your home directory (if important info is there) during the install!!) I've tried to do an update before from 7.2 to 8.0 and I ran into some file conflicts....but after I did a fresh install, all worked fine..
As for GUI's YES.. there is a gui for the upgrade but I'm sure most if not all of the fokes on this list and others too will STRONGLY suggest that you do a fresh install. I hope I helped a bit... take care and GOD BLESS Gavin On Sunday 25 August 2002 06:06 pm, you wrote: > With the files I downloaded from the Mandrake website, is is possible to > upgrade from v7.1 to 8.2?
