You can use your current theme or old default theme. No worry.
I know but I just wanted to make sure the original default theme wasn’t removed during the upgrade to 3.0.
Anyone know? I don’t want to update until I’m sure the original default theme stays or just so I know to back it up.
Bumping this because I really need to know.
Original default theme won’t be removed.
Thank you very much GJames!

I worry. After upgrading to to 3.0 (multisite) from WPMU 2.9.2 on our test install, new blogs/sites do not display at all upon creation – just a blank white page. Visiting the Themes tab shows no theme selected – no preview, no theme author, no location of files, nothing. After manually selecting the Default them, the new site displays fine.
Anyone care to help put an end to my worries? Thanks.
Sorry to bump this so soon, but I discovered the cause of the problem, and a workaround…
I did not have the new default theme folder “twentyten” in our themes directory. I presume that’s why no default them was getting selected. After adding the Twenty Ten theme and activating it under Super Admin, it gets applied to new sites. But only after renaming that theme directory to something else and renaming our “default” theme directory to “twentyten” does our desired default theme get applied to new sites.
Works for now, but there has to be an easier way. It seems like any theme named Default should be assigned to new sites as the default theme. Twenty Ten is beautiful, but … I digress.
Agreda,
I’m running WordPress 3.0 as a network, and ran into a similar problem. Whenever we create a new site, it wants to use the Twenty Ten theme, even though it’s disabled for network use. So after a little searching, this is what I located. Inside the wp-includes folder is a file named default-constants.php. On line 293, you’ll find the following line:
` if ( !defined(‘WP_DEFAULT_THEME’) )
define( ‘WP_DEFAULT_THEME’, ‘twentyten’ );
}’
So basically, that’s defining the folder twentyten as the default directory. You can set that to a different theme directory to change the default theme. This should initialize on a fresh install, but you might have to change the database entry manually on a site that’s already created.
