Hello, The config files should be automatically saved in *.rpmsave files by the upgrading process. The main difference between rh-7.1 and 7.2 is the introduction of the ext3 jurnalling file system. One should considder if it would be werth upgrading if there are a lot of custom configuration that has been done on 7.1. Ext3 has more overhead than ext2, but it has the ability to do something like point-in-time recovery. I have done the upgrade on my box to try and get my onboard sound to work with viavoice. My lynx.cfg was lost in etc, but my .pinerc in my home directory was kept. hth Willem On Wed, 5 Dec 2001, Nicolas Pitre wrote: > On Wed, 5 Dec 2001, John J.
