Hi.

I haven't tried that yet (but plan to do so on the next weekend), but if you take a look at my upgrade splitter/builder (check http://incase.de/framed/empeg, the files section), and split a normal upgrade, you should be able to take that as a template to build an upgrade package that installs to /dev/hda2 instead of the original /dev/hda3(?). The partition files the builder needs (and the splitter provides) are simply binary images of the original partitions or, equivalently, binary files of the size of the partitions that contain an ext2 filesystem (or swap respectively) and can be mounted using the loopback option in mount (-o loop).

cu,
