See > http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/x8664-multi-install-guide/ap-upgrade.html Well, since this seems to be turning into a pissing contest, lets settle this. 1. Yes, the software supports the upgrade feature. It was there in the past, it'll probably continue to be there in the future. 2. Does it work? Depends on what you've done to the system previously. The stuff you like to has a fair amount of warning sprinkled over it. 3. Will RH support it? Nope. The admin I replaced at work tried this one from RHEL3 to RHEL4. He had issues with stock RHEL software. Nothing 3rd party, nothing fancy. The support rep told him that upgrades were not supported, and to back up his data and to try to duplicate the problem on a clean install. They would not assist once they determined the box had been upgraded. You're both right. Software supports it. People won't. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. George Orwell
