Wow! From 6.2? That is an upgrade "tour de force"!! I'm very very
surprised... I'd apply tor the Guinness (sp?) book of records for the
longest successful upgrade in one session :-)

Maybe you can write a HOWTO?

You're welcome. It's good to hear success stories from time to time :-)
The nature of the beast is such that most of the time you only hear from
problems, and that is fine (this is not an invitation for everyone to
post success stories! - there would be way too many and that would make
this mailing list very high volume...... yeah right ;-).
