Hello Dears,
my question was :
> I'm migrating my first Alpha Station from OVMS to DU, so I have updated the FW
> to the last version and fastly installed the version 4.0. It works but
> a lot of system files are missing, so I realized, reading deephly the manuals,
> that the minimal version to install is 3.2C. Is it true ?
> Then I have another Alpha still running the 2.0 version, so to update
> to 4.0 have I to install all the other intermediate versions (3.2c, 3.2d,
> etc.) ?
After the boot from the CD I selected the 'default' DU 4.0 installation and
there isn't way to select the SW to load (MAN pages aren't loaded as well).
Choosing a 'custom' installation it is possible.
Anyway starting from a 'default' installation it is possible to load the SWs
you want, using the 'setld' command with the installation CD.
Then to upgrade from 2.0 to 4.0, it has been suggested to save all the specific
system files and install directly 4.0.
Otherwise : 2.0 -> 3.0 -> 3.2 -> 3.2C -> 4.0
