The only snag will be finding and removing all those ancient files lying around and maybe confusing you in, e.g., /etc. That's why I suggested a clean start. Actually, I think there's another reason to prefer a clean start: if it's over two years since you played with the system, going through the installation process again would be a good refresher. You could even be a tester of the new documents. ;) -- Rgds Peter
