What happens with mismatched filesets?

[Karel Kulhavy]

I didn't find an answer to my question in the upgrade guide: What happens if I
upgrade using the cd4x.iso and leave unselected a fileset that was selected
when the system was installed? Will it leave old versions of files and make the
system inconsistent? Or will the old set be removed from the system?

I guess if I select a set that wasn't previously installed then it will be
just installed without any problems.

Yes, it will.  The filesets are installed with tar xpzf.

You are correct.  You can always add a forgotten fileset yourself, per FAQ 4.10.
