Congratulations Texstar and the Ripper Gang. You make the best desktop distribution on the planet. (Too bad about the multimedia stuff but I suppose that it can always be added after a hard drive installation.)

No need to re-install from TR4. Just carrying on upgrading as normal, but before actually doing the upgrade, check if "initscripts" is upgrading to 8.51-3 or higher. When this happens:
1. Don't perform the upgrade, but install kernel 2.6.18.5 or higher.
2. Reboot and log in as root (yes, I know. Don't make a habit of this!)
3. Now perform the upgrade.
4. Delete the following folders:
/etc/skel/tmp
/home/"users"/tmp
Where "users" is every user, ie delete the file "tmp" om every user's folder. DO NOT delete /tmp
5. Log out as root and log in as your normal user. Instead of /home/you/tmp being created, it will be a shortcut to /tmp
6. Open the File Manager Super User mode, and also delete /root/tmp
In other words the users' temporary files now link to /tmp instead of ~/tmp, which is now a symlink instead of a folder. Apart from that all other changes are taken care of via upgrades.
If you are using a /home/you setup from TR4, and decide to re-install, you will also need to log in as root and delete /home/you/tmp. Or you can do this from the live CD whilst installing.
