Best way to upgrade....

Okay... It has been a while since I have followed this so I need to ask a basic question.
 
I am currently on 3.1.5e an just attempted to go to 6.3c. ; I followed some basic instructions and read a bunch of info on here and DD.  My attempt ended up in a start ;up loop which lead me to restore my 3.1.5e image.
 
Question:
 
What is the best way to get to the latest update if I am not concerned about losing my programs or todo list? ; (I just lost it so it does not matter at this point)
 
I don't need a tremendous amount of detail... Just some basics to catch me up...
 
Thanks,
 
Eli

If you have a clean image and haven't hacked it then it should
upgrade naturally if you just connect it to a phone line. If you've
hacked it then you can monitor the SwSystem in MFS using TivoWebPlus
or you can run a check from bash to see if the slices have been
downloaded to your HDTivo. Once the slices show up in MFS then you
can modify the installSw.itcl script and run it manually to upgrade
to 6.3c. You will need to reinstall all of your hacks as before.
You can use the same killhdinitrd'd kernel with 6.3c as your older
3.1.5e OS version.
