PROBLEM UPGRADING FROM FC2 TO FC6

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Thanks very much.  I'd wondered about that, but nothing I read about
upgrading--and I didn't find much--told me one way or the other.

No, I'm not worried about the data.  I just wanted to avoid repartitioning.
Maybe I'll have better partitioning for it.
