The upgrade from 4.0.25 to 4.0.27 alone was a PITA. I think it was even |
| 7 |
worse than the 4.0 to 4.1 upgrade because I didn't see any messages |
| 8 |
beforehand. I had to crawl around through the (WONDERFUL) Forums for an |
| 9 |
answer. (I had to zap the ib files and change the config files). |

If you follow the 4.0 to 4.1 guide, it will work quite well. I did it on two |
| 12 |
systems and it was very easy. It requires a dump and reload, but it's |
| 13 |
actually an easy process. It's well documented. I strongly suggest you print |
| 14 |
it out, read it through several times to familiarize yourself and give it a |
| 15 |
go. (I have one system left that I haven't upgraded from 4.0 to 4.1, but I'm |
| 16 |
handing it off to my protege.) Make sure you read up on the UTF-8 issues. |

You should be well armed with all this in your brain before you let your |
| 18 |
fingers start emerging.... |
