I currently run Linux installed off Slackware 2.0 and am ready to upgrade 
to a later version.  I have the CD-ROM set that contains Slackware 2.3 
and ftp archives and was wondering what the most painless way to upgrade 
is.  Should I back up my files and reinstall using Slackware ?  Or should I 
reinstall each subsystem/package I want to upgrade manually ?  

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
