Re: 5.3 upgrade

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Went very well - I was even doing it with the early ship (beta version). Do 
what Al says, which is basically, read the install manual, read it again, 
choose your install method, do a dry walk-through, then do the real 
install, and do every step. Check them off as you go. It's fussy but will 
almost guarantee a pain-free install.

This includes clean up -- permanent applies of PTFs, etc.

If you are a little brave, you could use virtual CD - image catalogs. It 
saves plugging in CDs during the install. But if you have never used them, 
this may not be the time to learn. We are a development house and I could 
afford to - production shops have to be more careful, not dareful (as I 
first typed it).

And you have a full system backup, right? If not, do it.
