<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the upgrade.txt that comes with 5.8 mentions the

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. Disable contributed modules and switch to
a core theme<BR> (Bluemarine or Garland).</FONT></DIV>

contributed modules until I'm sure about this as I don't want to lose
data.</FONT></DIV>
