What version Firefox is now installed in DSL 0.9.0.1? (i ask because i use FF 1.0 pre)

AND (the bigger question) How do i upgrade from DSL 0.8.4 to 0.9.0.1 (what a minute, i know how to upgrade, easy...)

BUT

Right now i have lots of stuff backuped (backup.tar.gz) like:

opt/ppp
opt/bootlocal.sh
opt/powerdown.sh
home/dsl/filetool.lst
home/dsl/.pixmaps
home/dsl/.fluxbox
home/dsl/.fluxbox-0.9.10
home/dsl/.xinitrc
home/dsl/.xserverrc
home/dsl/.emelfm
home/dsl/.mplayer
home/dsl/.xmms
home/dsl/.bash_profile
home/dsl/.mozilla
home/dsl/.bashrc
/opt/bdc
home/dsl/GNUstep
home/dsl/.wmbiffrc
home/dsl/.wmsmixer
home/dsl/.wmclockmonrc
etc/apt/sources.list
usr/bin/wmifinfo
home/dsl/tkweather
home/dsl/.chbg_prop
home/dsl/chbg_scenario
home/dsl/chbg_foto's
opt/fix-fstab.sh
home/dsl/.LinNeighborhood
home/dsl/.amsn
/ramdisk/opt/amsn/skins/default/displaypic
home/dsl/.torsmorc
/opt/torsmo
home/dsl/.ymessenger
usr/bin/wmtop
home/dsl/.xawtv
/home/dsl/.wmdrawerrc


Fact: I've got DSl on a usb-stick which is booted with loadlin (from a dos partition) When i upgrade from dsl A to dsl B i just isobust (open) the ISO file and extract the following files/maps:

KNOPPIX/
BOOT/
lost+found/
index.html

Then i overwrite the old maps/files with the new ones and boot the stick.

Problem with this is the restore function which overwrites the maps/files that are noted in my filetool.lst (see above list)

So my question is: should i just boot without the backup.tar.gz and then restore manually? (extract the maps/files from the backup.tar.gz and manually copy them to the new DSL-structure?)

If i don't there will be new stuff overwritten by the restore (flux-menu/firefox config/emelfm config/ etc..)

Guess i am gonna just wing it ...
