PROBLEM UPGRADING FROM FC2 TO FC6

[Albert E. Sten-Clanton]

Thanks very much.  I'd wondered about that, but nothing I read about
upgrading--and I didn't find much--told me one way or the other.

No, I'm not worried about the data.  I just wanted to avoid repartitioning.
Maybe I'll have better partitioning for it.
