Upgrading is simple if everything works and if you didn't mess around with
symlinks like I did. You just check the 'use ramdisk' option in BootX
(using the Champion 1.1 ramdisk in the System Folder) and select the
'Upgrade' menu item when prompted.

I had a few problems with symlinks, specifically a symlink loop between
/etc/X11/XF86Config and /usr/X11/lib/X11/XF86Config, with the symlink in
/usr/X11/lib/X11/XF86Config being created everytime I updated the rpm.
The other oddity was a symlink mess involving /etc/X11/X. I'd backup your
XF86Config file just in case something happens to it.

Other than that, upgrading was a joy I recommend. It even fixed my
backspace key (results and enthusiasm vary.)
