update Centos 4.1 to 4.3 via the<br> boot 'linux upgradeany' option.<br> <br> The first attempt hung the system with only 2 minutes left in the <br> update procedure (according to the displayed remaing time left).<br> <br> It was trying to upgrade Mozilla to the latest version.<br> <br> I then hard rebooted the system and tried again thinking that it might<br> start over where it left off (the Mozilla update).<br> <br> But no, it started the whole process over again.<br> This time however, everything completed and no system hangs occured<br> during the upgrade process. Have no idea why it hung the first time around.<br> <br> There is plenty of disc space available on the mounted the partitions to do<br> what ever it needed to do (as in 60 GB).<br> <br> The thing i noticed though, was that everything in my ~Desktop folder<br> that have been set up previous was gone.<br> <br> Is this normal in an upgrade procedure with
Centos?<br> <br> <br>
