I have never tried an upgrade due to many recommendations on this list. But I know opensuse has put a lot of effort into that. I may try it, it would save a lot of work. I guess its worth a try, I can always do a clean if that does not work.
I never did get saslauthd working on my 10.0 install, but would very much like to use that on 10.3. Can you point me to a good reference for that? Many thanks, Jim F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
