The easiest way (in my mind) is to use a CDRom and do "partial backups"
on floppies.  In most cases an upgrade involves putting a new CDRom in
the drive and rebooting.

I wrote some scripts for that, which should make upgrading and maintaing
multiple firewalls really easy, if you have a linux / unix box with root
access (could also be virtual):

diffleaf: Show all the differences between your installed packages and
the default packages, i.e. the configuration files you edited.

makeleaf: Combine custom configuration files (normally few) with the
standard packages to get a pre-configured firewall

The packages are now available in the patches section (look for patches
by
alexrh) while I'm hoping for developer access. As soon as I get that, I
shall upload a much improved version including e.g. automatic resolving
of kernel module dependencies.

Cheers
Alex
