It will leave behind a lot of old crap that will take up space, and be a pain to figure out what to remove. It is ok for a test system that you are going to wipe later, and you just want a quick and dirty test of the new OS and your apps. But it is better to start over, and have good backups. (Or a new machine, and leave the old one running until the migration is done). That is my plan as I replace 2 aging RedHat 9 servers I have running. The new hardware should be here in a week or two. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
