Hi Rolf, and all. Your email really begs a general question:
WHY upgrade, in a situation like yours? Does it really make sense?
Why not backup everything,
then completely ERASE the old installation, installing over it
the current version from SCRATCH, then configure it to work as you need?
Seriously. Wouldn't it be a much more reliable path, and consume much
less
time in the end?
I'm interested in everybody's thoughts on this, not just Rolf's.
Thanks,
Marco

I generally do not upgrade but install new.
I run 2 partitions on my hd, one has the previous version and the other
the new install.
I then install latest versions of the apps I need then copy my working
files over to the new install.
This way I have the backup for a few months, then overwrite that with
the next fresh install.
It's worked that way for a few years now.
