I need to update my ZEN-mini 2010 and I've just seen I had to install this: why information on how to install aptupgrade has been removed and the link is broken ?

Because you didn't do your upgrade in time for this app to be useful. There was a 6 month open window in which it was stressed this needed to be done. When that tine expired the repo had progressed to the point where the app was no longer usable, so it was removed. Your only choice now is keep your installation as a static system, with no further updates, or reinstall from the latest available .iso images.

Unfortunately, I had fully missed that information, but I managed to update Firefox, that was the only real problem.
But, is it possible to update the existing installation from a new ZEN-mini live CD without re-installation - as I saw in the past with Fedora - or just any particular software using another Live, technical Distro especially intended for that task (like Clonezilla, for instance: I don't know if it's the right one, I just remember that name) ?
