I tend to do the same, mostly because I don't do it, so I wouldn't be able to offer any concrete advice. I have tried it in the past, and you spend a long time trying to untangle the mess. The notion that you save time by upgrading then sorting out what went wrong has been destroyed by my prior experiences (fresh install in *well* under an hour, versus many hours of install routine CPU and disc grinding, and post-install repairs), and watching the emails go back and forth for a week, or more, by these "it's quicker to upgrade" people. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
