As long as I preserve all /etc ../etc what risks go with upgrading
from 4.2 to 4.6.2 ?  XF 336 to XF 40 ?

Most of my bigger directory spaces (small root, usr) are linked
back to the 2.2.8 disk drive.

It seems to keep getting easier all the time.

Never got GNOME right .. still complains this is not a GNOME
compliant WM .. So how does it run at all ?   What am I looking to fix ?

Thank you for any flames or ideas ..
