I am afraid it won't work. Your installed programs (X, window manager etc.) will be left intact.


Fetch this tarball:

http://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/pub/DragonFly/snapshots/src/src-Devel.tar.bz2

into your homedir, go to

# cd /usr
# rm -rf src
# tar xyfv /home/yourhomedir/src-Devel.tar.bz2

and then buildworld --> buildkernel --> installkernel --> reboot --> installworld --> upgrade --> reboot

This will update your system to the latest preview release. It is running very stable for me.
