You never know. When I upgraded to 2.2.10 from 2.0.36, system would not umount the partitions properly because of some problem with scripts in rc.d. That caused quite a lot of file corruptions (esp in dselect data files, where info about each package is kept. I could not install anything) So better be safe than sorry Andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrei S.
