I pretty much always scrap the old installiation and start fresh. It's worth it to me to spend the extra time to restore /home and all the config files just to not have to guess for the next year or so whether my problems are something left behind from the last OS. Forces you to go out and get the newest versions of all the other extras also. I get the "must have NOW's" then go grab the others as I need them. But I realize there are many people that use the Linux box for SERIOUS high volume commercial work and that might not be an option. -- Jay Crews jpc@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
