upgrading from 0.93R6 to 1.1 beta
I have been using and staying current with the 0.93R6 version of
Debian. I would like to install v 1.1 beta and test it and contribute
to the beta testing effort. I have seen the installation from floppy
disk instructions. I could also install on a separate "test" machine
that would be different from my main machine. However, I have one
simple question:
Can I install v 1.1 over the existing v 0.93R6 installation as a usual
package (or whole sets of packages) upgrade? I could not find
instructions on how to do that. Will this be so difficult that it
would be better to install from scratch? I would like to save all my
configuration files (of course I will have this from backup, but I
want to minimize hand tweaking).
