starting over I guess is probably the easiest. I did the upgrade via the dvd I downloaded. I did expect the upgrade to fix the problems I was having but apparently they just upgraded them. <IMG SRC="cid:1153320638.17195.7.camel@blkpoohba.dyndns.org" ALIGN="middle" ALT=":)" BORDER="0"> I would like to keep my web, ftp, vnc, samba config files. They shouldn't cause a problem correct? What else would I possible want to keep?<BR>

Can I keep /mnt... and /home when I do the fresh install? I can just choose not to format that correct?<BR>
