upgrade form 13.37-RCpi to 13.37-stable?


Hello!
How should I upgrade a machine running 13.37-RCpi (Sun Mar 27 08:28:47 UTC 2011
There have been quite a few changes so we will have one more release
candidate: Slackware 13.37 RC 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716.) to 13.37-stable?
I am worried because there is a change of the kernel headers in between.
Can I simply use slackpkg sync the system to the 13.37-stable tree?

Best regards,
Martin

At the risk of being shot down in flames, this should be as simple as making sure that /etc/slackpkg/mirrors point to the right mirror, slackpkg update, slackpkg clean-system, slackpkg install-new, slackpkg upgrade-all.

Best,

Kris
