| 415611 | 2005-12-26 08:03:00 | I have found if you are upgrading to a new distribution you will need to log in as root before the installation starts and remove any configuration files for X, GNOME, KDE etc (but not Firefox, Thunderbird, etc) from your /home directory. A new distribution may not like the config files for the old one! If you are getting a new hard disk why get rid of your existing distribution? Why not dual boot? I currently run Fedora and SuSE on my machine - a friend runs about 6 distributions on his! |

| 415612 | 2006-02-01 07:43:00 | Thanks for all of the helpful suggestions. A month later and I have upgraded to Xandros Deluxe ex Trademe. (I did suggest that I might stay with Xandros didn't I?) I gave Mepis a good try and couldn't really warm to it. My deluxe version of Xandros has the higher speed CD writing. The Firewall wasn't successful as many on their forums have mentioned. However, I have installed Guarddog and it was easy to configure. Firefox 1.5 and Thunderbird 1.07 are working happily along. Mailwasher v 1.1.2 is also installed (my registration key was carried over from the Pro version quite satisfactorily. I have had Open office 2.0 working on Xandros OCE so will next get that going under Deluxe. Cheers, Jim :thumbs: |
