[support] question about upgrading

[Joel Willers]

It depends on how instrumental the module was in the site. It probably goes without saying, but make sure you make backups of the file system and database. Drupal updates aren't really 'easy' to do. Sometimes it's easier to just recreate the site (not always, though).

Subject: [support] question about upgrading

I have an older site in D5 that I am working on upgrading to D6. Unfortunately, some modules that were used in the old site no longer exist (addnode for example). What will happen when I upgrade without this module?
