Hi Eric,

I did the same, some three weeks ago. 
I made a local copy of the repository and just did a "blunt" 
rpm-install ( rpm -Uvh *.rpm --force --nodeps ).

After an hour or two, it was finished but I had to reconfigure aboot.conf to 
"see" the new kernel. It is still running fine on my DS20E and had no 
problems what so ever.

The way I did it, can be questioned or argued, but it worked and that's good 
enough for me. When the 1.0 iso's are there, I will do a plain re-install 
just for testings sake.

Regards,

Peter
