Before updating, you probably would want to backup your original file systems!
p The update procedure will not overwrite or remove any files not present in the sets you install. If you've replaced programs present in the distribution, you have to replace them again after you did the update. The etc-set needs special caution. You generally don't want to install this one when upgrading. It is recommended that you get a copy of this set and .Em carefully upgrade your configuration files by hand. .(enum Starting the upgrade
p Ok, let's go. Insert the bootfloppy and follow the .Sq normal installation procedure until it asks you if you wish to install or upgrade. At this time, select upgrade. You will now be greeted and reminded of the fact that this is a potential dangerous procedure and that you should not upgrade the etc-set. t Selecting your root disk
p When you decide to proceed, you will be prompted to enter your root disk. After you've done this, it will be checked automatically to make sure that the file system is in a sane state before making any modifications. After this is done, you will be asked if you want to configure your network. You can skip this section on .Nx*M for now. t Editing the fstab
p You are now allowed to edit your fstab. Normally you don't have to. Note that the upgrade-kit uses it's own copy of the fstab. Whatever you do here *won't* affect your actual fstab. After you are satisfied with your fstab, the upgrade-kit will check all file systems mentioned in it. When they're ok, they will be mounted. t The actual upgrade
p You will now be asked if your sets are stored on a normally mounted file system. You should answer .Sq Ic y to this question if you have the sets stored on a file system that was present in the fstab. The actions you should take for the set extraction are pretty logical (we think). You might want to read the notes in section 9 (Installing the distribution sets) of the installation section. t Finishing up
p After you have extracted the sets, the upgrade kit will proceed with setting the timezone and installing the kernel and bootcode. This is all exactly the same as described in the installation section. .enum)
