Preferred upgrade path from pre-final to final?

[v3rsificator]

For those of us with hard drive installs of Backtrack pre-final (i.e. not boot disk, or vmware) what is the best method to upgrade to Final?

Is there is a way to do it without a new install?

Uh...yea, so does that mean "install from scratch", or dig for a "How To"?

I don't see such a tutorial in the How To section.

So, possible, or not possible?

Pretty sure it's going to need a reinstall.

You could find out all the changes between BT4pf and BT4f, do lots of apt-gets, a new kernel upgrade (final is using 2.6.30.X), and also manually install the tools that aren't in the repository.

But, unless you have information that you cannot move/copy over, you are better off doing a fresh install.

Sorry archangel...I was typing when you posted.

Good Luck

I was just told to do a clean install as of right now.
