I'm very used to using cvsup to upgrade between minor releases (IIRC the box was 4.9 or 4.10 originally) but a jump between major versions is scaring me a bit :) Has anybody done this recently. Were there any major problems other than mentioned in UPDATING? I don't particularly want to install from fresh if possible, due to the hassle of removing the server from the bottom of the pile (too poor to afford a rack ;(), opening the case up and fitting a CD-ROM etc. -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- chris@chrishowells.co.uk, howells@kde.org Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP ID: 0x33795A2C KDE/Qt/C++/PHP Developer: http://www.kde.org
