Just to see what would happen, I decided to install the original Zijwaarts iso (from April 2014) and try to upgrade it to the current repos. Installed, apt-get-update and apt-get dist-upgrade; it wanted 320M of updates (almost as much as the original iso!). What the hell, let's see what happens. There were a few times when I was asked if I wanted files updated, and I simply selected the default. Eventually, the upgrade completed.



I'm not recommending this, and it's not supported, but if you are brave enough it just might work for you too.

^ Mmmm, nice to see it again. I still have an iso lying around on my Hd. Will see if Im lucky.
Thank you for reminding me of this gem.

thanks pids! guess it wanted to uodate /etc/issue*, /etc/bashrc and some other defaults. it's safe to overwrite these with new versions. :)
