I have found that it'd be quite hard for me to 'upgrade' to any new Mandrake system simply because _my_ Mandrake system is no-longer very Mandrakian.
It's the same with other RPM based distributions. It's also the same for MacOSX - it's three separate processes to update it and sometimes you need to do the first process again once the second one is complete.
The longer you have a particular setup, the more things you add here and there, and then promptly forget for months-on-end.
Tip: Always keep the default in /etc/ and look for ways of using ~/.whatever-rc files for local settings - even if you are the only user.
*I* would not upgrade to 10.1 because of this, however if your system is still pretty much vanilla Mdk9.1, then I can't see that there'd be any problems.
Thereagain, if you'd been sensible and opted for Debian . . . .
Certainly if you actually install 10.1 over-the-top of 9.1 rather than "upgrade"
I never had a successful upgrade with Mandrake between v7.0 and 9.0. vs Debian unstable is upgraded every morning, automatically. :-) -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
