I would make sure to backup your important data before doing the upgrade. Either send it to tape, send it to another machine, or put it on a different physical drive and partition from the rest of your OS.
Call me over cautious, but I can't tell you how many times I've fried my home directories and the like before I started seperating user data from OS data. Now days, I usually don't upgrade, but rather, format and Install fresh...that's the voodoo I use at least. carl -----Original Message----- From: Nick Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 12:38 AM To: RedHat-List Subject: upgrading to 7.3 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, I want to set myself a little weekend project and upgrade from 7.2 to 7.3 and as I've found nothing on the redhat site about this thought to ask for a little advice. I've not done an upgrade before and I have tons of stuff on my machine that I don't want to lose. So my question is, if I upgrade, am I likely to lose any information? I have a few virtual domains and of course loads of stuff in my /home dir that I need as well as some custom installs like Mutt and Mozilla and so forth. Can anyone offer any advice?
