Ok, thanks for the answer... but... what about the release planned for
05/05? That release will have the support for upgrade to the next
release? Or that feature is not supposed to be included in that
version yet?

 ps.: I'm talking about the upgrade for the whole system (user/kerne land).

 thanks again.

 Leal.
