...and you'd risk an upgrade from 6.06 to 10.04? Pull my other finger. I
predict it'll blow up sky-high with all of the underlying changes from
then to now in a bunch of mission-critical packages and their config
scripts. Do as you must. Me, I'd be backing up like a madman and setting
up a test box to install 10.04 fresh to and giving it a whirl to see
what blows up as you restore the data and package files, one at a time.
Forget using old config files directly. Use them as reference to edit
the new ones. When it works as you want it to, then put it online.
Dapper was released June 6, 2006. It's a very dead parrot. Ric
