Re: [cobalt-users] Avoid RaQ3 OS3 update

["Mike Fritsch" <mfritsch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the below point you say that if you have a lot of FP accounts. Did
it work on a server with a few FP sites? I would like to be able to bypass
the stupid 3 meg rule.

FP experts: If I read the last post correctly would it hurt if I deinstalled
everyones FP exts and then reinstalled them?

Thanks
  Mike
