Simply upgrade when newer versio becomes available ****Takes more time than a fresh install & seems to require lots of tweaking post install 2.Keep /home on its own partition, install the newer OS from scratch leaving /home intact. ****This was until recently my preferred option, may require a few tweaks especially if transitioning from selinux disabled to selinux enabled. 3. Just do a fresh install, and selectively restore files you want to retain to the appropriate location. ****I just move my 'working files', DBs etc. to the new system. I also keep a text file that documents things like my WAP/WEP stuff, any required tweakage by app etc. This really works well for me. -- Bests, Jon ---- ><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><((((º>¸. >>> ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><((((º>> >
