Except possible changes from /etc/skel, right?To access the Hard drive you must first mount the partition using the mounting tool bottom right of desktop, and then access it via /mnt/hda1 /mnt/hda2 /mnt/hda3 ... etc
If you know this then you're not making the mistake that I made.
..and, you might have to open Emelfm as super user (right click on desktop icon)

True. I usually list those changes with each release candidate and site news announcement.Depending on how you did your original frugal installation, i.e., how did you originally boot to perform the installation...
That was a from scratch installation, booted from floppy as PC did not support booting from CDROM. I did set my partitions manually following guidelines in wiki. After that, just selected Apps->Tools->Frugal Install.
I will give this a try again soon. Thanks for the info.
Audioice.Well, you guys are the PROs! I booted with my v3.3 CD, used the mount tool to mount hda2, and proceeded with the frugal upgrade. Everything seems to have worked. Files were copied and the disruption was extremely painless.
I did originally made a from scratch frugal installation, i.e. relieved the hard disk of that other OS, DLS being the only OS on this HD now. I booted with the help of a floppy, as the old thing will not boot from CD-ROM. I manually partitioned the hard disk as per wiki instructions, and then performed the frugal install using GRUB.
