HD Install :: Update of my dsl version

Hi there,

Is there something to only update my install , and not to reinstall everything?

For frugal, overwiting KNOPPIX and boot directories updates the system, and sometimes there are a few personal configs that are recommended upgrades (listed in the new release announcement threads).

For a Debian-style install, your simplest course of action is to backup your files and reinstall the whole thing. Extra applications will need to be reinstalled. There is no upgrade path unless you go through the bother of converting your DSL system into the equivalent of a full Debian system, but then you'd have to rely on Debian rather than DSL for your future upgrades.

For those who wish to do traditional Debian type hard drive installs may want to check out the extension checkinstall.dsl in the testing section of the repository.
Take a look at the .info file.

Just for running apache , ftp , samba and SSH servers , I think it's not necessary to have a full debian install.
I'm happy at this moment with my dsl hdd install , but I think about upgrading my dsl version to the last one.
Maybe a apt-get upgrade could help?

what is this repository you speak of?
