I had no major problems with 9.0 apart from I still have display issues my 
graphics card is a Voodoo 4 but there is only entries for either 3 or 5 :-(

Everything was OK last week but I fired it up last night and it didn't want to 
start I did a failsafe start which was OK although it complained 
that /dev/hdd5 was not unmounted cleanly (this is my swap????) I was able to 
do startx but the Gui was a bit flaky (I presume because it was VGA=normal) 
couldn't see any problems although I may have done a stupid thing I enabled 
DMA as this was another complaint did a restart and it all went down hill 
from there it gets as far as setting cmos and stalls or I get boot record 
skipped any way I'll try the upgrade (I'm, hoping the Windows trick of an 
overlay install will happen) if upgrading doesn't work I'll have to wipe and 
reinstall.

Oooh I hastent to add one of my girls was hanging around outside the door 
looking very sheepish, Hmm I wonder?
