Has anyone tried the dpkg-multicd method wrt upgrading slink->potato?
IIRC, this was the preferred method of installing slink from CD. I
remember selecting the multicd method, inserting the second binary CD
for the package update, and a smooth installation. Dpkg-multicd seems
to have been dropped to Priority: Extra, though. And I have no potato
CDs to test the upgrade procedure with it.
