As mentioned in the Migration Guide, the perferred upgrade method is to dump all configuration files, then install from scratch. However, you may find ``find /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/lib /usr/libexec /usr/share -atime +30 -delete'' useful, while this is not guaranteed to be safe if you have some handly installed applications. Please be sure that you have backed up everything before doing so. Cheers, -- Xin LI <delphij frontfree net> http://www.delphij.net/ See complete headers for GPG key and other information.
