I will be upgrading from 2.2.7 to 4.5. Well - upgrade isn't exactly the right term -- I will do a fresh install of 4.5 then copy the 2.2.7 shared libraries to /usr/old/libs and a couple of config files from /etc (ppp and such). Question is should I expect some/any problems with old configs/binaries? I know at some point they switched to elf but don't know if they broke/disabled the old a.out format. Not sure if the new programs require new config files (or new formats) et all.. Obviously (well maybe not obvious) I will recompile some programs when feasible but I have a few old ones with no sources...
