View source for Upgrading Alpine Linux to a new release branch

= Upgrading Alpine =
Alpine can be booted from various media.<BR>
It has also made some adjustments through time and this could also have impact on how a upgrade could be done.<BR>
These factors makes it hard to make a 'general' upgrade instruction that fits all scenarios.<BR>
The principle is still the same.

To make your upgrade easy, we now present various documents that will help you in your situation.

== What is your *present* setup ==
You need to know... 
* what alpine version the box (that you are upgrading) is running at this moment.<BR>''It does not matter what version you are planning to upgrade to.''
* what media you are planning to upgrade (on what media is your alpine distro at this moment).<BR>''Choose '''CD''', '''USB''', '''HD/CF''' or whatever fits your setup.''
