	Actually, no.  I upgraded from 2.0.1 if I'm not mistaken.  My only
worry about reinstalling from scratch was having to redo all the lists,
though I imagine those can be copied over to the new installation without 
too much fuss.  If there are any quirks with this (should just require
copying over the /lists/ directory and perhaps one or 2 other things?)
that you know of, lemme know.  Thanks
