Look for references to files created as .rpmsave or .rpmnew. These indicate configuration file changes that you will need to take a look at, possibly merging in manual changes you made in the old distribution with the changes made in the new distribution. It's also worth doing "yum list extras" to spot any packages that are no longer part of the distribution. Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
