[SOLVED] Full system upgrade to a newer release without fresh install

I saw this procedure elsewhere but the locations were specific to another distro...
Has anyone done this with Linux Lite ?

sorry... edited original title to 'system install' and not update

Hello!

One problem I see right off the bat in the article you referenced is that it invokes the dist-upgrade command, which causes LL to have problems.

A script to upgrade LL from 2.0 to 2.2 was placed in the forums a while back, but have since been told that it's highly experimental. Since they're working to get 2.4 out the door by the first of next month, it's on hold for the time being, I guess.

Personally, I won't be upgrading until a process is developed so I can upgrade without having to reinstall everything. From my perspective, I haven't seen enough major changes between the different point versions to motivate me to reinstall everything whenever one comes out...

Upgrading for Linux Lite is currently in the developmental stage, so far it is looking good for a release in 2.4
Thread here - https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/linux...de-script/ to keep up with the current development status.
