Please (particularly Smooge) review and comment on the new content at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide Based heavily on the pieces I added earlier to http://wiki.centos.org/Migration/5 Tried to keep it general. Would assume that we want only one page on Migration with sub-pages for specific versions. I referred to the CentOS 3 FAQ entry on WBEL migration but it would seem to be cleaner to change the structure to something like http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide/CentOS2 ... http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide/CentOS5 FAQ entries could point to the corresponding sub-pages. Opinions? Phil

Always latest? Or from 3 to 4 (as people running Oracle might want to do, as I don't see 5 get recognized as supported soon)? Otherwise it's a good idea, though 2.1 to 5 probably is "Don't even think about it" }:->> FAQ entries could point to the corresponding sub-pages. Opinions?Yes.

I just want to confirm with you - what page are we going to link to from the centos-5-release notes ? -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq
