Thanks for the response people. I thought you guys would say that and I
was hoping that there would be a clean solution. There are too many
customizations for me to perform a clean install at this point.. I think
that I'll leave it as it is!
I have a similar upgrade coming someday, right now I have hardware supported
only under old version with a vendor driver. Someday I will try bringing the USB
device into a KVM machine and running it there, but for now...
Anyway, I install with the idea of a clean total reinstall, so virtually all of
the custom stuff is in another partition I can preserve. I'm sorry to say you
are not going to do a clean upgrade because:
- stuff in /etc/sysconfig has changed name, format, and interpretation
- a new cron is in place
- /etc/inittab has been replace with a complex scheme
- default simple functional networking has been replaced with NetMangler
- simple functional sound has been replace with PulseAudio and you can use up
to five volume control and mixers to make sound not work right
You really want to do a full install, honest. At least now you know why that's
the case.
