[parisc-linux] Upgrade path from 0.6 to 0.9?

[Chuck Slivkoff]

I'll be burning a ISO image over the weekend, but I was curious. Is
there the equivalent of "apt-get dist-update" or a simple way to do this
w/ out a complete reload?

On a somewhat related note, the 712 I've been playing on has the 0.6
bits loaded & I've been doing some apt-get's, but right now I can't get
anywhere. I've tried "apt-get -f install" to try to "clean things up",
but keep getting this:

I'm thinking I need to update the kernel, but I'd like to not have to
reload this from scratch.  I can pull the kernel from the 0.9 ISO, but
PALO didn't seem to be too intuitive.

Any suggestions?
