Well, I'm stubborn enough to go always for the upgrade path. In fact, I don't do new installs even when I switch laptops (I just copy from the old disk to the new disk). For new installs there's always windows ;-) (even though in the last few years linux has become more like windows, and I don't mean it in a positive way) and I had my fair share of problems with new installs too. I'm pretty sure that if I managed to upgrade from mandriva to mageia 1 then from mageia 1 1 to mageia 2 things would have worked quite right. Unfortunately the first step (mandriva->mageia 1) failed early on, and when I tried again I realized too late that urpmi had selected mageia 2. Even so I managed to complete the upgrade, and I'm confident I can solve the few lingering problems when they arise. Bye -- Luca
