In 2 weeks this article can migrate from osnews.com to the Haiku FAQ. It can
become a "living" document with updates made whenever needed.

In the next week osnews will publish another article, this one about BFS.
Special mini-interviews from the original BFS author, and from Axel. :-)

Subject: [haiku] Adding to FAQ: How to update to a nightly build
Hi there!It has been commented that the Haiku website doesn't have a resource
describing the procedure to upgrade an existing build to a nightly. Should this
be added to the FAQ?Q: How can I upgrade my installation to a newer build?A: A
warning first: Nightly builds are not as thoroughly tested as official
releases! You may want to try out a revision as image in a virtual machine
first.You can get a [http://haiku-files.org/ Nightly Image] and put it
[http://www.haiku-os.org/get-haiku/burn-cd on a CD] or
[http://www.haiku-os.org/guides/making_haiku_usb_stick onto an USB stick]. Then
boot from your new installation medium, start the Installer and choose your old
installation as destination to have the system updated while keeping your home
folder with all your data, apps and settings untouched.At least this should be
the procedure, right? I always build directly to a
partition...Regards,Humdinger--
