       Thanks for your kind answer,
       I  always  upgrade at the last minute and one step  after  the
       other.   Furthermore I don't think SL7 will be better than SL5
       and  I  fell too old to have to learn new ways of  configuring
       machines (I think for example od systemd ...)

       Thanks  for the link, I will try it as soon as I have a little
       time.
