No, we don't. The normal online update is for continuous updates of your _current_ system.

So what? I can't see what you want to say with that.
If you want to upgrade to the next release, you must boot from CD1 and select 'upgrade distribution'. This will disable all current repos and register the new update repo.
Usually durinf the alpha/beta stage it is sufficient to select 'upgrade distribution' from within, without booting.
Sure, but this is still more controlled than just registering a symbolic link as an installation repository for zmd so that zmd starts to automatically upgrade your distribution whenever your favourite mirror admin changes a link on the server. This could hurt you in a really bad way when you are not prepared. Robert -- Robert Schiele Dipl.-Wirtsch.informatiker mailto:rschiele@gmail.com "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur."
