FAQ:I am running an older version of Ark Linux. Do I need to reinstall in order to get 2006.1?
No, The purpose of the "dockyard" tree is to keep your machine up to date. Simply use the "Install Software" tool in Mission Control to upgrade everything, or run the command, shown below, from the command line interpreter (K > System > Command Line Interpreter (Super User Mode)). This will check for updated and update your local software database, then update your distribution.
apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade
The file /etc/ark-release (which is read by some other tools such as Mission Control) will continue to say you're using whatever version you installed initially (this is for internal reasons) - but other than that, your system will be identical to the current version.
