The Funtoo Linux project has transitioned to "Hobby Mode" and this wiki is now read-only.
Translations:Upgrade Instructions/1.2-release/2/en
These instructions will guide you through the process of upgrading your system from Funtoo Linux 1.0 to 1.2. First, please make sure that you have created a backup of your system. If you choose to proceed without a backup, then you are assuming the risk of a broken system and dealing with fixing it or re-installing. While these install steps are fairly robust, we will be removing what appear to be unused packages on the system, and while every precaution is taken to avoid breaking packages, in odd cases this could result in some packages being removed that you actually need. Typically this will not happen, but since the possibility exists, it is best to be prepared for this possibility, particularly on critical systems.
