Erin,
I would suggest keeping the prior version(s) installed until you are
comfortable working with the new version.

my question about the dual install would really be about this "root"
question--
my web is a hodge podge of pages built, over the years, starting with fp98
and
no skill whatsoever all the way thru 2002 and moderate skill. I have time
right
now to install the upgrade but not to go back and rebuild if fp2003 is not
kind
to any screwed up code it encounters along the way.
so is it likely to bork the site if there's bad code on some of the older
pages,
which still works okay in fp2002. If this is likely, then I would keep the
2002
install so I could republish the backup web if it nuked on the republish
to
2003.
I hope the above makes sense....all of us nontechies out there truly
appreciate
the time you guys-n-gals put in to helping us out...

If you're going to do that then there is little need to dual install
both
versions. Instead make sure you publish down, using FP2, prior to
publishing
with FP3.

Always do a full publish after any FP upgrade to make sure the meta
files
are updated to reflect the newer version
