Quick question here... I previously had 2.2 installed. About a week ago I did the Distribution upgrade to Feisty Fawn. Since I already had 2.2 prior to the upgrade is it safe for me to use the "Convert" script to get any remaining changes and packages I may be missing?

If you are now running Feisty then yes, you should be able to download the newest convert_me script and run it to get the latest Ubuntu CE. Keep in mind that you will lose some of your configuration settings such as dansguardian, firefox, and desktop. These will be replaced with the newest version of CE so you will have to do your customizations again.

Thanks, Jereme

Thank you! It worked like a charm. When you said firefox settings I didn't realize that included all of my bookmarks too :(. Any chance the file is still there for me to restore in some way?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. There isn't currently a backup option in the script. I am planning on implementing that with the next release. :(

God Bless, Jereme

No worries. That's one way to find out which ones I really used :). 3.0 is great by the way. You're really leading the way for not only a distribution for Christians, but one dedicated to providing what its users ask for! I'm amazed at how quickly you implement suggestions and improvements! Thanks again for your help.
