Upgrade from Boron to Carbon?

Hi,

I know that a fresh install is the best. But if possible I would just like to do a distro upgrade.

There are these instructions; https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=8969 to base an upgrade path on.

Are there people who did an upgrade? How did that go?

Re: Upgrade from Boron to Carbon?

I have a laptop running Boron. Normally I would make a new partition, install Carbon to that and migrate settings etc over. That's what I did on my desktop machine, but the laptop drive is encrypted which makes it complicated (though not impossible) so I intend to do an upgrade of Boron to Carbon. I expect the instructions for Beryllium to Boron will pretty much work, but eventually I plan to write a Boron -> Carbon version.

Eventually. I'm a bit tied up with other things right now.

If anyone has any advice or warnings, please post!
