[rt-users] RT 2.0 to 3.0 Conversion problems

[josh]

Thanks, I wasn't sure what pieces I really needed and ultimately,
since as I said, I had the old stuff backe up ... I created a bunch of
symlinks on the new server to the external backup, made all the files
mod 777 so any one could execute them,  and put the location of my
old perl and my old RT2 into the script - I ran it and it worked. (at
least this part)
