With a year old system you should question if reinstalling your system after a |
| 16 |
back up of configuration and data files would be a smarter approach. If you |
| 17 |
*must* upgrade your current installation for learning or as an experiment, |
| 18 |
then this is something which has been done before. You will need to walk |
| 19 |
through all the major upgrades of the last year, by using git to gradually |
| 20 |
catch up with the latest stable versions. This means a lot of packages will |
| 21 |
have to be updated a number of times. |

Personally, I'd back up /home /etc and world file, plus any databases or |
| 24 |
websites if stored under /var/, then untar the latest stage 3 tarball and |
| 25 |
update @system and @world. Overall it should be a *much* faster approach to |
| 26 |
allow you to bring your installation up to date. |
