I could live with that if the source upgrade path would become less bumpy between major releases. This concerns esp. the removing of old files from the previous release. I don't want to reinstall a server every 12-18 month (o.k. let's say every two years) from scratch, esp. if it's a "major release by force" which could also be an additional point-release. -- Ciao/BSD - Matthias Matthias Schuendehuette , Berlin (Germany) PGP-Key at and ID: 0xDDFB0A5F
