upgrading after Hdd Install to new version of Knoppix
Hello,
I would like to update my hdd install to include those changes that are made in the new version of Knoppix. For example, I just installed 2003_5_3 and I'd like to update to the 2003_5_16 version. I do not want to track all Debian changes since Knoppix seems quite stable(thank you)
Is there an easy way to do this by using apt-get somehow? Or is there a way to do this by downloading iso image and somehow upgrading from a new CD version?
Regards
mr n

I don't think there is an easy way, though you can boot a Knoppix CD, use the partition programs (qtparted) to make some room for a dedicated /home partition.
You then install the newest Knoppix on the same partition as it was before, and edit /etc/fstab to mount the new partition as /home ![Smile](images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
There is a good walktrough in the docs on this site.

Thanks for the quick reply. So you are suggesting that I put all changes into a /home partition and then install the new CD each time into the root "/" partition? The problem is that I have to carefully track installations and changes that do not go into /home. For example if I install something that ends up in /usr/bin, then I will have to reinstall each time? Or maybe I do not understand you mean?
Regards
Mr. N.

But indeed, you would need to reinstall the programs you fetched yourself every time you update, but configs are saved because of backing up /home.
I think backing up /root micht be handy too. Would it be wise to do this the same way as /home?

If you want to keep your present packages and not have the new ones then:
dpkg --get-selections > selections.txt - To save your current packages for use after the new install
dpkg --set-selections < selections.txt - Restore the old package selections to new install.
apt-get update - Update packages available.
apt-get upgrade - Install the packages available.
If you want to keep your configuration settings for the programs you have installed then backup your /etc directory and restore after the new install and if you want your home directory settings kept then back this up and restore after the new install.
