But not too late!  Thanks for the reply.  I thought I might tackle this 
tomorrow.  I installed with ext2 and reiserfs so no problems there, 
right?  I installed 9.0 from a purchased DVD.  I've heard that the dist 
available via ftp lacks content that the retail box version has.  This 
is my concern.  That I might run into trouble upgrading from a retail 
9.0 install to 9.1 via ftp.

Cheers,
Gary
