On Mandrake/Mandriva I have done way too many upgrades to even list.

On my personal laptop, I know I have done:

Mandriva 2009.0 install
Mandriva 2009.0 -&gt; Mandriva 2009.1 upgrade
Mandriva 2009.1 -&gt; Mandriva 2010.0 upgrade
Mandriva 20101.0 -&gt; Mageia 1 upgrade
Mageia 1 upgrade -&gt; Mageia 2 upgrade

There is one minor unresolved issue on the Mageia 2 installation, which
I will try and investigate further, but all other upgrades worked
perfectly (e.g. Mandriva 2010.0 to Mageia 1 upgrade was flawless).

I finally got a work laptop, and migrated my home directory from the
above machine, and that worked fine. I have experienced more issues with
normal systemd/dracut etc. issues that with any settings/prefs.

Buchan
