Hi Eric,
The process would be like this : 1. while the system is running, replace packages on storage medium (exchanging cdrom, dd'ing iso on flash, scp'ing lrps on fat...) 2. prepare the new configdb by some means (extracting and merging in a temporary location) without disturbing the running system 3. prepare the new moddb by some means (if the modules tar.gz is available) (don't know if that will be possible) 4. replace kernel/initrd on boot medium 5. reboot Regards, Cedric 2006/8/24, Eric Spakman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Hi Cedric, > > > > A "dist-upgrade" is in my todo list for some time now.
