I am in the process of writing an update procedure for myself, because I feel this is an area where we could still improve. Upgrading fron 4.x should not be much of a problem, as the format of configdb has not changed, so you can probably use your existing configdb. All it needs is the current kernel and modules along with the new package versions. If you are short of memory, the hardware detection might not work. I tried Victor's trick on my wrap and it failed for me. If you have sufficient space on the CF I would suggest to modify your boot program to support multiboot and either install the new release on a new partition or first clone the packages and settings to a new partition so you always have a fallback. cheers Erich
