Let's assume that the poster has half a clue e.g poster is upgrading from 9.3 -> 9.4 therefore it is reasonable to assume the poster has already successfully done the 9.1 -> 9.2 -> 9.3 upgrades, and hence used the same methodology. I may be wrong BUT if they used a new internal storage format then I think that it would not be 9.3 -> 9.4 but 9.3 -> 10.x The other clue is that the poster said I'll try that when I get to *work* tonight. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
