How to upgrade Lucid Puppy 5 to 5.01?

#1 Post by TJK »

I've searched for hours on how to easily upgrade from 5.00 lucid to 5.01, but have found nothing other then backing up packages, drivers, sfs files, etc and then copying them over the newly installed sfs files. What I was hoping for was either an automatic upgrade or, a pet that would would add or overwrite the old files (like version 4.3 had).
What options do I have? (Which are the simplest)
