I have done it on several machines with good : results. I tried installing 2.1 beta over 2.0. It kept the desktop and worked -- to an extent. However, after several crashes I decided to reformat and load fresh. I had saved the desktop using WPSBK7 off of Hobbes. When I restored the desktop everything came up fine. Now the system works even better than 2.0. I recommend that you save the desktop, reformat and load 2.1b fresh. George
