Hello<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for all the replies - much appreciated. Our system is pretty basic, so it looks as though I have backed-up the most important stuff. The Ubuntu website suggested that the recommended path to upgrade from Hoary was via Breezy, but the Wellylug advice suggests to me that upgrading from Hoary directly to Dapper should be OK. In which case, my backup files will hopefully be for reference only. <BR>
<BR>
I'd like to attempt the upgrade myself (but please feel welcome to caution me against doing so). Is the Dapper Installation CD easily available somewhere in Wellington? Thanks again.<BR>
<BR>
Joseph<BR>
