Just DL'd 2008 ver and would like to know if there is any way to install it and keep my old programs and settings? Do I need to backup these files and restore after the new install?
Thx in advance

You are correct, it is Mandriva2008. Thanks for the quick response. Now for the next stupid question. Where does upgrade show up? I booted from the new disk and didn't see that as a choice.
