If your current boot disk works, just use that. There's nothing on the
boot disk which can't be updated afterwards with apt-get or dselect. I
think, in fact, that the only thing on the boot/root disk which isn't
replaced anyway from "base" as part of the installation procedure is
the kernel itself, which you can update by installing a newer kernel
package.

Hi, I was wondering if the newer bootdisk for the sparc 1+ has had the bugs
worked out of it yet
I was wondering as I need to do a reinstall for mine as I need to do some
reconfiguration to my sparc and I might as well install the newer
bootdisk...

Thanks
Harold

RTM, to wit, read the installation manual.  It goes into depth on what
files you need to install.
