The slicer supposedly ports most of your hacks from the old inactive
partition over to the new active one after the upgrade. I've never
used it myself so I'm not entirely familiar with everything it does.
If you had to reinstall everything after using the slicer I'm not
sure why you spent $20 on it. All you need to do is modify the
installSw.itcl file with a minor edit and run it manually from bash.
This will install the slices and upgrade to the newer software
version following a reboot. The hacks will then have to be
reinstalled on the new partition either manually or using the latest
version of the Zipper. All of your recordings and settings are
preserved intact. I believe the latest Zipper includes the HMO/HME
patches but you may get an error when it runs. Just go back and
reinstall the two patches manually that give you the error and then
reboot.
