Hi,
I have a printout of the 2005.1-handbook and I am going to install
2006.0.
Now I am asking myself, whether I need to printout the new handbook
or whether there are too less changes to do so.

Kind regards,

You don't need to print anything out - the LiveCD has a text-based web
browser available. Simply write down the URL to your handbook of
choice, and fire up links. You can specify a site on the command line,
or use the G button to enter an address from inside the browser. I
recommend using Alt-F2 to switch to a second virtual terminal, so you
can run links on that while performing your installation on the first.
If you need live support, you can use the IRC client, irssi (although
most IRC servers reject connections from root, so you'll need to make
yourself a user first).
To actually answer your question: there *should* be no major changes to
the procedure. I don't remember whether the 2005.1 handbook details the
GCC migration, but as far as I know 2006.0 comes with the new GCC-3.4
already, so you could skip that portion (revdep-rebuilding and so on).
HTH.
