OK, I DL'ed the DVD for RC1, I figured I can't wait until next week.
Does anyone know if the 10.3 install routine will offer to upgrade my
10.2, or should I figure that my present install will be trashed and
I'll have to get out my backups?

Well, perhaps it does, perhaps it doesn't. Who knows. It is an
unfinished product, so anything can happen. I also seriously failt to
see why you would not be able to wait, unless somebody put a gun to your
head.

As for upgrades, the same as always applies.
1) Take backups
2) Try the upgrade
3) If 2 fails, you still have the backups.

Again, understand that now and in the future any failure with your
version will be related to the fact that it is an unfinished product.
Once the final is out, that means no support, no nothing'.
