- ==================
+ ============================
- ****************************************************************
+ January 1 2008
- * IMPORTANT: Pre-upgrade step for 7.0pre1 and 7.0beta releases *
- ****************************************************************
-  Before upgrading to 7.0 from any of the 7.0 test releases, you
-  must run the following command:
-  kudzu -q
-  If you do not do this _prior_ to the upgrade, your system may
-  not boot. If this happens, please see the workaround here:
-  http://www.contribs.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=698
- ***************************************************************

- ===================
- - Test Internet Access now accesses contribs.org and only passes two
-   pieces of information - the version installed on your server and
-   a string used to differentiate your server from others using this
-   test. This string is generated by a one-way hash function and access
-   to the string does not provide any information about your server.

-   gain an accurate count of the installed servers.
