<p class=MsoNormal>I reckon we all need your partner’s email address so that we
can write in support of your sterling efforts at making a seamless transition and
to explain that things don’t always go according to plan. “This is not just a
matter of reprogramming a VCR or replacing a fan belt” we would say….<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>PS I did read somewhere that you don’t want different
versions of MythTV around because of the 0.21 upgrade to the database. I reckon
you should be safe enough to take everything up to 8.04, as long as you do all
back and frontends at the same time.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div id="post_message_4681743">
<p class=MsoNormal>I have a very unique opportunity next week in that my
partner is going to be away on business for the whole week (party at my place).<br>
This generally only happens once a year so its my only real opportunity for
serious 'scheduled maintenance' on my Myth and Asterisk systems, including any
software / hardware upgrades and hardware cleaning etc that is due.<br>
<br>
I'm currently running an old version of knoppmyth on a dedicated backend and
mythbuntu 7.10 on several frontends.<br>
The system has to be bulletproof, one missed program and my life isn't worth
living <img width=15 height=15 id="_x0000_i1025"
src="cid:image001.gif@01C89A67.E0BE3550"><br>
<br>
Its been very stable for the last year with only one problem when I ran out of
disk space on the backend.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I want to pick brains on my best approach.<br>
<br>
Should I install 7.10 final on the server as well and wait for the final
version of 8.04 then upgrade everything to 8.04 over the wire.<br>
Or should I go for 8.04 beta and then upgrade to final when it comes out in a
few weeks.<br>
<br>
My big concern is that if I go with 7.10, then doing an upgrade while my
partner is here is quite a big risk to take if anything goes wrong or breaks as
its a big jump.<br>
While if I install 8.04 beta then I have all week to get it going, but if
anything breaks in between when she gets back and when the final version comes
out in a few weeks, then that could be just as bad.<br>
<br>
Are there any issues with the upgrade path from 7.10 to 8.04 final (I want to
do it all while the system is running so no cd reinstalls etc).<br>
Is it possible to upgrade 8.04beta to the final version without having to
reinstall from CD.<br>
<br>
Ideally I want to make all my frontends diskless as well, so my preference is
probably to start on 8.04 beta and then make the short jump to 8.04 final as
soon as it comes out.<br>
<br>
Any comments or suggestions?<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Toby<o:p></o:p></p>
