The best person to ask is the maintainer, but one really obvious problem is where to dump to. Picking a random directory and dumping to it could easily flood the partition with a large database and cause damage to the system. One would hope that the administrator of a server would be taking adequate steps to protect themselves from failed upgrades anyway. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
