Thanks for the info Colin, What's your opinion on this, would it be better for me to upgrade from RH 8 to core 1 then to core 2 later, or should I go directly to core 2? Does Anaconda take all of my server settings and convert them over to core config files? Even my mail server config files such as qmail? Also if a breakage occurs it is a real hassle to fix on a live server or would I be better off doing this on a backup sever first, then move existing live server services to core server?

It should all work, but if a breakage occurs, don't be surprised That said, I've done this before, from RH8->FC1, and it has all just worked out well for me -- Colin Charles, byte@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.bytebot.net/ "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Mohandas Gandhi -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
