Yes, you could have it replace all your defaults but I did that the first time and got in trouble.  I ended up reinstall RH 4.1 and reinstalling to preserve RH’s files.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Tom Bednarchuk Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 3:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Newbie]Upgrading to 4.2.0 WITHOUT losing my existing desktop etc.   That's what I did but I guess that I answered one of the questions to the installer incorrectly. Did you just go with the defaults for everything ?? ----- Original Message ----- From: Otto E.

Anybody have any tips on doing this. I tried to upgrade my RH 7.2 box so that I can use the updated ATI drivers and try and get some hardware accel for MPEG playback but I just succeeded in screwing up the system. So I have reinstalled and now want to try again but I don't want to blow it this time. Obviously I said Y instead of N to a question in the installer that caused this.   So, has anybody done this successfully? If so, how ?   Tom
