Folks,

On June 3rd, shortly after I purchased Yellow Dog Linux 2.0, I inquired on
the list whether it was true that it was impossible to upgrade to YDL 2.0.
I was told that an installer was on the way quite soon, and a bit of a flame
war ensued, unfortunately.

On August 10th, Yellow Dog discs still sitting in my desk drawer, I posted
to the list to find out if I could upgrade yet. No replies.

So now, on this second-to-last day of September, I ask the latest question:
will I be able to upgrade from YDL CS 1.2 to the recently-announced new
version, YDL 2.1 <http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/#2.1>? I see that Terra
Soft is taking orders, so I assume that this has been nailed down by now.

Any takers this time around?

Best,
Waldo
