I
personally never "upgrade" a system because in my opinion there's too many
unexpected conflicts, etc. that can happen.
I would just do a
reinstall if I were you.

Subject: Charset problem with RH8Dear Sirs,I'm a RH Linux 8.0 user (Pschyche).I just like to know how to upgrade a Redhat Linux 8 installation. How to add packages without reseting any parameter (mainly all the network parameters).More explication : i've installed Apache Tomcat 4 with JDK 1.4.0. My system is stable (thanks) and my Tomcat Webserver works properly (J2EE/JSP).I also use MySQL with RH8 (the bugged MySQL included with RH8 but I've the solution for resolving it, the inno-db parameter).Some french characters are not visible on all my Webpages; ie : for "éxamen", we have "?xamen", etc etc. What can I do ? These characters comes from the MySQL database. In mysql, i can see it clearly because it's correct. Other french characters which are not in the database are visible correctly.I've performed another full installation of RH8 on another pc with the same MySQL and Tomcat parameters and and i've not the problem. I presume that some locales packages (or languages packages or charset packages) must be installed on my first installation like Latin1, Wester1252, etc etc.Can you help me please ? How to perform this ? What packages ? How to turn my personnalized installation of RH8 to full installation without reseting anything.
