That and >the libraries, which I did not bother upgrading. Well, like I said, there's so much to do. I want to reformat into a more useful partitioning scheme, rather than the single partition for Linux I have now (well, I was younger and more easily confused then. =P ) I want to upgrade the libraries and gcc. I want to blow away some programs I don't really want anymore. The repartitioning is the main reason why I might as well just chuck the old stuff, with the lib/gcc upgrade as 2nd most important reason. Unless my laziness counts as the biggest reason. Did you upgrade from 1.3.x or 1.2.x to 2.0.x? -- .. the real Rabbi Hillel taught the 12-year-old Jesus to inspire, that is to rally-raise-train-evolve-unite-UNITE the whole Human race, lightning-like in our almighty Eternal Father's great All-One-God-Faith!
