For instance, could I allocate a partition and install the same version as on another partition, make temp mounts for the original /etc /usr and /var and copy across a whole existing install? I'm wondering because it would be really nice to try an upgrade for the experience, without risking losing the existing install in case of problems.
In the past I have always kept the existing stable install and done a new install, but of course it is necessary to start a whole raft of configurations and installs afterwards. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?
