I would have hoped the big warning sign to the same effect at the beginning of the install process would have alerted folks to the dangers involved - but thanks for reiterating it here nonetheless - one can never be too careful ;) > > If my expereince is anything to go by you will regret it. > > 1) There is no upgrade option, or if there is, it is sufficiently > well > hidden that I could not find it. > > 2) When I tried to overwrite the existing installation (and therefore > keep my config) the install aborted partway through (sorry the error > messages was very long and detailed so I didn't copy it into my > desktop > system). Hmm. I should have made it explicitly clear that rPath != CentOS so "upgrading" (at least in the traditional sense) is not really an option. I just assumed that folks would have understood that since it's akin to trying to upgrade from CentOS to SuSE Linux - a definite no-no. > > 3) When I tried to install as new, although the install went fine, on > boot up I get lots of red [FAILED] messages and several screen loads > of > script are dumped into the bootup screens (presumably this all logged > somwhere, but I have no idea where). That's DRBD trying to start up but since it's not configured, it errors out. It should hopefully be fixed in B2, but you can safely ignore that for now. If you want to get rid of the messages in future boots: chkconfig drbd off (as root) chkconfig heartbeat off Subsequent reboot should proceed without errors. > > 4) During install rPath fails to recognise my boot partition as a > boot > partition and I had no option but to repartition/reformat it. > I can understand why you'd need to reformat, but repartition as well?
