Had an idea, don't know if it's doable. Maybe someone could foward it to the correct list. The preferred method of Upgrading is wipe & re-install. Could a little script copy current install setup, ie rpms etc.. to a flash stick. So when re-install occurs the option is given to: "Customise later, Customise Now, Insert Config USB stick" Then it would save some time, and give a fairly accurate upgraded clone. Frank
