It seems to me that the easiest way would be to do a binary
install/upgrade from the distribution CD. You might even get away with
copying the relevant files (don't know which... probably binaries and
libraries) from the live CD part.
Thanks for that.
For some reason (sorry I didn't record the error messages) I got into
some weird menu loop in sysinstall when I tried to upgrade. So in
the end, I just mounted the installation disk, found a directory
RELEASE-6.2/base
in which there was an install.sh that looked like it would do the
right thing. It did the right thing. The only problem was that I
forgot to restore my old /etc/passwd before rebooting. As a
consequence I couldn't ssh in, and so I had to lug an old monitor
across the room and clear desk space for it, so that I could log on
to the console.
Cheers,
