hi,

I have 2.2-GAMMA (090325) up and running. And have downloaded the
ssys.?? and bin distributions of the 2.2-RELEASE.

here are my options to upgrade 

1. Use the upgrade option
I understand that the upgrade option is not exhaustive. But would it
work from GAMMA->RELEASE ?

2. Simply extract the bin distribution and build a new kernel. (Of
course preserve the /etc)

What is the best method. ( I don't want to download X86/X11 distribution
again.)

Would appreciate your comments.
