I also did it on a stock 9.2 machine with no customizations and no packages installed from contrib or plf and I must say that although I eventually got it working, my main box was a PITA dealing with all the little niggles that came up. The second machine was smooth as silk.
So I would say that the more complex your setup, and the more third party and built from source software you have installed, the harder it will be to do this without any problems. On a heavily cusimized box, your best option might be to zip up your /etc directory for future reference and do a clean install. - -- /g -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAXiQwGu5uuMFlL5MRAiOpAJ4jKCne+DCzeqoFiw/lblnt9zopxQCfS+X1 hXQD3v0AFJMEdZfnMe9pQ2g= =JLX6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
