Hi Bill, Yes, we are going from RAAbuntu 1.7.2 to Rivendell on Centos 2.x.x, sorry I wasn't clear about that.
I've got a backup of the database, I make two that go to separate drives every day. I should also have added, the new Rivendel 2.x.x system is already installed on a separate machine. What I'd like to do is to take the separate drive with the audio files out of the currently operating machine, put it into the new machine (with Riven 2.x.x) and then make the new machine use the drive with the audio content as var/snd. With our previous RAAbuntu version, I just made a symbolic link from the separate drive with the audio files to /var/snd. Someone told me this isn't as reliable as editing our fstab files, but I'm not sure if this is true. Is that the procedure you'd advise too? Thanks again!
