Please keep to the topic. I am very familiar with the numerous problems that people reported during the earlier days of K 1.6 and, yes, I expect that we will continue to have problems reported about K 1.6 RC1 (and with all later versions that come after it, too). There will be many discussions about problems but this topic is not the place to go into those details.
I understand Oscarfishlover's frustration. Do you know that I had to could not do any testing work for a week or so because we could not understand why why I could not upgrade? For nearly 2 years I have never had a problem installing any software on my server and, for the first time, I hit some "snag". However, I was confident that, with the help from other members of this community, I would sort out the problem ... and we did! I am confident that we will sort out Oscarfishlover's problem(s), too ... as long as Oscarfishlover remains confident and has patience and perseverance.
