Upgrading

[Harry L. Lee]

personally, i build my systems in a way that makes a more brutal upgrade
possible. i create a 20G partition for /, and a 30g for /home and a large
partitioni name after the system (i saw someone here named theirs data,
which is a very good idea.) when i want to "upgrade", i install with
reformat of the rootfs partition, and leave the others intact.
