[X Newbies] upgrading panther

[Mike Binstock]

I upgraded the old system before upgrading Panther and
it was a waste of time because you update a lot of the
same stuff when you boot panther for the first time.

I would do archive all the way... from previous posts
that is the way to do it to avoid the most possible
problems.
