So I stemmed my urges to upgrade from RedHat 6.1 to 7 because of the impending release of 7.1. My question is this: How much is this upgrade going to suck given that i have not installed all of the software on this machine via RPM? I have one or two packages that NEED to work which were compiled and not RPM'd most of the rest can limp for a few days without it causing a problem. Comments? Suggestions on steps to take to curb the suckage? Word. ____________________________ Mike Neuharth ADCS Technology Specialist http://www.umn.edu/adcs E-Mail : mjn at umn.edu Page Mail : 6126486512 at page.metrocall.com http://supermonkeycollider.dyndns.org/ ____________________________
