Hi list,

- a small misunderstanding here, on my behalf. I did not upgrade, I bought a 
brand new disk, installed SuSE9.3 on the disk and copied and re-installed 
what was needed. Part of that proces was copying mails, adresses and 
bookmarks and more over. 
- this all went without a hitch.

- This way, I still have my original disk at hand, if things go wrong, I'm 
still productive monday morning :-)

- thank you for your comments, anyhow!
