This may be a simple question to most of you, but its an unknown to me.
The last two upgrades I've made, to 2.1.5 and then to 2.2.2, were timed
to replacing hard drives with larger units. It gave me an empty drive to
work with, and a back-up if I screwed-up. Fortunately, there were no
problems either time.
Now I'm considering the jump to 2.2.5, but on the existing....
running.... website machine.
(1) Will the 2.2.5 simply build "over" my existing files as CVS would ??
(2) Do I have to nuke the drive and start over ??
(3) If its the FORMER - don't I still have to START from a "new" 2.2.5
boot-floppy, to get the newer sysinstall and file locations ???
Inquiring minds want to know........
