} Is there an easy way upgrade my system ???

Get the new distribution available to your system as a filesystem (ie
download it locally, NFS or CD-ROM).
The n look at the upgrade script - not sure if its in the AXP stuff
(not at work so can't check), but its certainly part of RHCL 2.1 for
intel. That should do the job straight off - maybe just a minor edit
or 3...
