[CALUG] upgrades for a newbie

[Eric K. Dickinson]

The way I do it is sorta like this....

1) print the /etc/fstab

2) boot on the Slack install disk (1)

3) Mount all your partitions under the /mnt directory
i.e. "mount /dev/hdaX /mnt" where X is your / directory
"mount /dev/hdaX /mnt/boot" where X is your /boot directory
until everything is mounted

4) run pkgtool and select remove packages.

5) select everything, unfortunately one at a time.

6) quit pkgtool

7) run setup and proceed through the normal install of
your preference.
