You're best off reading and following the instructions in UPGRADE.TXT that Pat supplies with each new release:

http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-12.2/UPGRADE.TXT

CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT is also useful:

Hi,

RELEASE_NOTES, CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT, UPGRADE.TXT are available on the cd/dvd along with other text that you should read. Plus you could do a search here on LQ as this subject has been covered a lot.
