17 This is just the way to go if you want to take some fun fixing your
18 installation later. The way to breakage. Changing chost can be a
19 dangerous thing if there if your config files are not fully healthy,
20 so, better use the guide:

24 Never ever remove the database, it just does not make any sense. The
25 profile will mark new minimal versions that maybe will push some
26 updates into the system, and some of them maybe for critical stuff like
27 glibc, gcc or xorg. There are upgrade guides for those around. Just be
28 vigilant and use --pretend --verbose after doing a thing to see what is
29 new in the profile.
