This is an off line machine. How reliable is the upgrade using sysinstall ? I've searched mail archives but couldn't find any hints on this. Also nothing on handbook on upgrading. (hopefully I've not missed it) Perhaps the right time to include something about upgrading the OS :-) Also I've seen many reports of problems from those who have upgraded to 2.2.1. How significant are those those problems ? I've not had ANY problems with 2.1.7 sofar. I've installed many programs on this system and do not want a complete reinstallation. The machine is used for research purposes. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
