I'm one of them, so this is of personal interest. >From your reply to Dawid W, it appears that database upgrades will need t= o=20 be done as well. Please specifically mention that, perhaps by changing=20 the reference to the official upgrade docs as so: """ Note that existing databases will need converted as well, again including those upgrading from 5.0 to 5.1. Details can be found in the official upgrade docs at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/upgrade.html """ If you wish to put the unofficial upgrade recommendation in too, that=20 would be fine. Hopefully that'll cover us users that don't particularly care about=20 databases, we just want our kde to work... and it'll continue to do so.=20 =3D:^) (IOW, are there any particularly different procedures for upgradi= ng=20 databases in user's $HOME dirs? Perhaps a note for kde users telling the= m=20 where their databases are located so they /can/ back them up, etc.) Thanks! --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
