You also have the option to use apt-get to upgrade the distro.  I think t=
his=20
is the best way.  Other then buying the CD of course. To do this:

Add:
rpm http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog apt/2.3 main extra extra2=
=20
rpm-src http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog apt/2.3 main

rpm http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog apt/2.2 update
rpm-src http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog apt/2.2 update

to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.

The as root "apt-get update"
Then "apt-get dist-upgrade"

Then apt-get will download and install all the rpms and updates that you =
need=20
to upgrade your distro.  Worked pefectly for me.
