Yes. IMHO, it always turns out to be less of a hassle to do a fresh install than trying to jump through burning loops and upgrade from one major version to the next. I always carefully document every install I do, step by step, the more so since I have to install identical systems on many machines. I keep an SVN tree with my own documentation and configuration files. When a new release (of CentOS, Slackware, Debian, whatever) comes out, I try a manual install on a sandbox partition, and then try to automate things as much as possible. cheers, Niki Kovacs
