There is no official Beowulf image because Beowulf hasn't been released
yet.

Ok.  Thanks everybody

The approach I tried was to install a minimal Ascii setup and then
s/ascii/beowulf/ in sources.list then do an upgrade and a dist-upgrade.
It seem to work ok for a server, I've had it running the last few days..
  I've not run into new errors, just old ones.

I've used the same method to upgrade a Refracta (ascii) install, and it 
worked well. This is with xfce and desktop apps installed without 
metapackages.


If you try to upgrade a desktop system that was installed from tasksel 
(with task--desktop), you'll probably run into 
dependency conflicts.


One other way to get there is to make a beowulf live-iso with live-sdk. I 
haven't tried it in a few months, but it worked fine when I did it.

Results of that are here (no-X):
https://get.refracta.org/files/testing/
and here (openbox, no dbus):
https://get.refracta.org/files/experimental/refracta10-nodbus_amd64-2019-04-16.iso
(Blend files available on request. Modify and make your own.)
