Dear fellow MKLinux users,
    When you get an upgrade to Linux do you just need new System files,
like MKLinux booter, or do  you need to reinstall everything?

you just need to update the specified files, for MkLinux it's often the
kernel (vmlinux), the Mach Kernel and the booter extension. no need to
reinstall the whole system. for some updates (like moving to shared libs)
you have to reinstall some packages with the new ones, but that's minor and
trivial.

Look on www.linuxppc.org, I think they have a small document about that
issue.
