- I wouldn't mind upgrading, but I can't find any articles that tell me
how to upgrade without re-installing the whole thing. I'm assuming there
is a way to do this so that I don't lose my personal files, yes?

My filesystem is already setup so all I want to do is upgrade the OS.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

- The best thing to do would be to download the latest ISO's, or buy the latest
commercial package of Mandrake, drop the CD in, and when it boots, select
'upgrade'.
