The system was originally installed on a 545MB disk, and as we needed space, we added drives, moved stuff around using symbolic links. The only thing really left on the orginal disk is the basic minimal stuff(bin,sbin,libexec and the swapfile, and it is the boot drive) If I do an "upgrade" with a 2.2.7 boot disk, is everything likely to go ok? Backups are obviosly a wise idea, but I don't want to do this if its going to involve much downtime. The system is running 2.2-Stable of unknown date.. havent followed stable for probably a year, I think 2.2.5 was the latest release at the time. thanks...
