I'm running Firefox 0.8 with Linux kernel 2.4.25. I use gentoo and keep fairly current (although I havn't made the switch to the 2.6 kernel yet) and count on the good folks at gentoo.org to release the builds on a timely basis. I do plan on upgrading to 0.9 soon, but based on my own needs and the availability of my distro (a few days behind does not bother me.) Having to be kept current on something as minor as going from 0.8 to 0.9 seems extreme to me. I'll no more upgrade from one minor version to another just so I can go to their web site than I will install Windows/IE so I can go to the Jaguar web site (sorry, a little agenda slipped in there).
I've used WD's Data Lifeguard utilities release 10.0 to do the same, upgraded a from 10G drive containing 2 partitions, both NTFS, one the W2K boot partition to a larger 40G drive without a hitch. Now that the 40G is failing me I tried the same thing, going to a 120G WD drive using Data Lifeguard release 10.2 and it's no go, something about not supporting NTFS. I dug around and found the older 10.0 release disk and I was able to get the boot partition copied. I booted W2k, did a chkdisk (scandisk?) and I'm back up and running. (Now all I have to do is cross my fingers that the old drive will come back up one more time so I can get the partition I failed to copy the first time).
Anyway, there may be newer Data Lifeguard software on Western Digital's web site that will again allow copying NTFS partitions but at least one copy I had refused to do so, forcing me to go back to an older release.
