Sure. Run setup again and downgrade all the packages you upgraded. But you're better off trying a snapshot to see if that fixes any problems you're seeing. Otherwise, the problems may persist beyond 1.5.7. It's good to be moving things forward rather than being stuck in the past. ;-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
