OK, forgetting about the failed upgrade for a second, are we saying that simply copying the new version files to /oldroot/cdrom/os is sufficient for an upgrade, or not? In this case, I am asking about 0.6.1 to 0.6.2, but how about future version upgrades - what process should I follow? Philip's manual diffing seems pretty involved to me.
