I'm not having much luck upgrading from R4 to R5.
#1 Can this be done?
#2 Should I delete all my old partitions and start from scratch
#3 Should my Mac lockup when I insert the R5 cdrom?
#4 Should I wait for the non-viral version of the R5 cd?

#1) Yes it can be done, but the process takes some time and is not
always perfect because there most probably will be some old remnant stuff
from R4 that will confuse R5's glibc2 and create problems. You are better
off reinstalling.

#2) Not really, you can (if you created seperate partitions for /home
and /) keep your old /home partition and format your / and /usr and any
other that has binaries on it. otherwise youshould backup all important
data and format/reinstall.

#3) No

#4) I don't think the virus is harmful, just turn off AutoStart config
in the QuickTime control panel.

U havent been able to get R5 to install on my Umax C500.

Quote:> #2 Should I delete all my old partitions and start from scratch

All the info suggests you should do a clean install... format your
partitions except for /home, possibly.

Quote:> #3 Should my Mac lockup when I insert the R5 cdrom?

No

maybe you (and I ) should wait until 4.1.

I sacrificed my old install in favor of 5.0. I get the thing installed then it
hangs up near the end. I'm ready to go to 4.1 for a while. Any thoughts?

For me, trying different monitor settings finally did the trick (try generic
or generic multi-synch).
