updating live 6: uninstall previous versions?

Post by davec1 » Fri Dec 22, 2006 3:31 pm

I currently have 3 versions of live installed, live 5.22, 6 and 6.0.3.

my question is, can I uninstall all the previous versions without having to worry about the library or parts of it being deleted?

Yep. That's the beauty of the live installation process. :)

Your preferences and library are stored outside of the application bundle.

If it were me I would definitely ditch 6.0, and probably keep 5.2.2

I live the Racks in Live 6, but Live 5 was WAY more stable. Damn is it only me where Live 6 is behaving like sh*t, crashing 20 time's a day for no reason at all?
