Whe I upgraded one of my boxes from woody to sarge, I was happy I had a separate /home. What I did was make a copy of / (without /home) on another partition, making sure both were bootable, and then upgraded the copy. The upgrade failed for reasons not really relevant here, and I was still able to boo the original woody system. Once I successfully upgraded (at least to the point where sarge would run) I then had a period of parallel operation. If something I relied on didn't work in sarge, I could reboot to woody to get things working while I meditated on a fix. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
