rollimone roeltz laaceldarvir reldelcalil Upgrading can be done in two ways:

1. Dumb way: is simply remove all files except : 

/home/
/root/
and some files from /var from target system and then do standard morphix install without creating /home/ and /root/*

2. Inteligent way: like dumb way, but we should compare list of installed packages between target system and live-CD and remember differences before install and add/remove needed packages after install. Maybe dpkg-repack command could be used on target system before installing.

Installing single package from morphix CD can be done through dpkg-repack command, but this is not easy, because files on morphix CD are in compressed file system and standard debian kernels doesn't have required modules.
