This is not to say that the 2.2 lineage is As I understand the existing install routines, installing a distribution over an existing system means some manual migrating of configuration files, moving things back into /etc, and so on. If this is still the case, could the code for 2.1.5 be left on the SUP servers as -stable for a periopd (one month?) after the release comes out ? That way, the people who have been following -stable can do one final SUP, make world, and decide where to go from there without having to manually migrate systems (which, dependent on the number of systems, could be a nightmare.) -- j. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | James FitzGibbon james@nexis.net | | Integrator, The Nexis Group Voice/Fax : 416 410-0100 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
