I second that - you are far better off to upgrade to 4.6, a number of enhancements in PF and other areas of the system have been made since 4.1. If you have a second machine handy, I'd do a clean install and move things across, testing as you go. Once it's at the same standard (or better) than your existing 4.1 machine, cut a disk image after reading FAQs 14 and 10.2 entirely, then pull the switcheroo. Remember, if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces. -- Aaron Mason - Programmer, open source addict I've taken my software vows - for beta or for worse
