[mrtg] Advice for conversion to RRDTool

[Equipment Coordinator]

I found the RRDtool conversion VERY easy with MRTG 2.9.2, however getting
the 14all stuff working has take a bit more time, simply because I wished to
have it very customized from what 14all creates.  I, fortunately, started
the expirement on a non-production mrtg server.  :)  This proved quite
useful, as it took me quite some time and playing to get all the RRDtool
stuff installed.

I made the assumption that the conversion would be "plug-n-play" a week ago,
and have spent a significant amount of time putting together CGIs to suit my
needs.

this piece of advice proves useful for anybody considering such a
conversion.
