Sort of.

You've changed versions pretty seriously, so its very likey that you've
got a big mess left behind. Its possible to clean up this mess, if you
know what you are doing. If there is nothing on the box that you want to
keep, its probably faster to reinstall.

Otherwise you can muddle through, but for the most part, unless you show
some pretty specific problems in rather fine (and not too long) detail,
you are pretty much on your own. Sorry!

For this, the questions_at_ and newbies_at_ lists are better than current_at_.
