(first, Simon, sorry for my previous top-posting. Thanks for your  
attention about the netiquette)


Manual actions, which are always error-prone, are needed about  
configuration files when upgrading from H3 to H4, correct ?
So there is *no* auto-upgrade path from H3 to H4.
This is a drawback.

Bye,
