As mentioned in the Migration Guide, the perferred upgrade method is to dum= p all configuration files, then install from scratch. However, you may find ``find /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/lib /usr/libexec /usr/share -atime +30 -dele= te'' useful, while this is not guaranteed to be safe if you have some handly ins= talled applications.
