+<PRE>Just a reminder to ensure everyone is aware, Live cds should
+NEVER be used to upgrade an existing system.
+
+Live cds should only be used for testing, and for clean installs.
+
+When installing from a live cd, the running system from the live
+cd is copied to the selected filesystem(s), overwriting anything
+that is already there, and then customizing the installation for
+the hardware it's being installed on.
+
+During the first boot of the newly installed system, any files
+created in the home directory of the live cd, will be copied into
+the home directory of the first user created, overwriting any
+existing files that are there.
+
+An example where this has happened.  While running a live cd,
+firefox was run creating the /home/live/.mozilla directory in
+the live cd filesystem.  The installation was done, unselecting
+the option to format the /home file system.  On first boot,
+the same user name that was used in the prior installation was
+entered as the first user.  The result was that the files in
+/home/user/.mozilla were overwritten with the copy created while
+using the live cd.
+
+For more information on safe ways to upgrade, see
