I did that here (naming my old copy pan.14), so I could keep it for reference purposes for helping people. Keep in mind that a few of the dependencies are different, however. New-pan doesn't require gnet, for instance, while old-pan did. Especially if gnet isn't depended on by anything else, make sure it doesn't disappear when you upgrade... (On Gentoo, unmerging no-longer- required packages is a separate operation, one which I always run a --pretend before doing it live. I simply told it I wanted to keep gnet and it doesn't try to remove it now.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
