If the programs you indicate are part of the RH 9 distribution they will be upgraded if they are not they will be left alone. But first I would copy any rpms and /or tarballs you used to install the above programs on to another machine or back them up in some way. Now once you have RH 9 up and running then you can use the program up2date to update them to the latest release (again if they are RedHat distributed programs. Now for a disadvantage if RH 9 has (and it does) facilities that do not appear in RH 7.3 these will not be installed or upgraded and you will have to get them and install them a different way. Someone will correct me if I am wrong about that. The alternative is to do a straight install of RH 9 and add any software that is not on the CD-s as a separate step from the rpms or tar balls you saved. Of the programs you listed only mailman and imagemagic are on the redhat 9 distribution, so I think the full install option is better for your case. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200 telephone: (210)-999-7484 email:akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxx -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
