In the past, there have been occasional excursions from that ideal but not AFAIR in any of the 5.x, 6.x or 7.x release series. | 2) Any gotcha, hints or things to be aware of? Nothing that I can recall -- this update worked very smoothly just by cvsup'ing to the appropriate tag and going through the usual buildworld cycle. | Of course, as usual I'll take full backups before beginning | the upgrade.. Always wise. Cheers, Matthew - -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
