I just don't know how many more times I've got to see it - and those that have upgaded before, even...tested it time and time again, and will test it the next time as well - but still - it's only because I like to make extra work for myself and see all the nasties... EITHER WHICH, though, Tina and I have tested things here and a clean installation is by FAR the best way to go - and, as we found out, in doing her "upgrade" from 9.2 to 10.0 OE, she was offered far less option than was I - and my CLEAN installation caused no dramas with any of the packages, none of the CD's or what-have-you; although, I did have the Berillian Borks with my keyboard - and getting the dang cursor_themes to work properly...but hey, just cuz I'm picky... With that said, I'm actually poising myself for another clean installation; being that I have a bit of time on my hands - so as to back everything up to another server - and COMPLETELY wipe out all my stuff - which is going to be a long project considering the file library I keep along with the MP3 and Movie library (let alone the personal stuff and pr0n, ya know) Back to the trenches... stephen kuhn - proprietor __________________________________________________________________ illawarra computer services :: a kuhn media australia venture http://kma.0catch.com :: mobile 0410.728.389 Serving Sydney, The Illawarra, South Coast and Rural NSW __________________________________________________________________ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents __________________________________________________________________ Mandrake GNU/Linux 10.0 OE/Kernel 2.6.3-7/ No Viruses here.
