I think you would do better to just grab the netinstall/boot iso from
the development repositories and then do a network install. There should
be several good mirrors and you only need to grab what you need, not the
whole install image.
That's all very well but it means having to wait for the
new stuff to
download instead of dl'ing in the background while continuing to work.
And before anyone asks, yes I would like to use preupgrade but I need to
grow my /boot partition and the existence of LVM in the rest of the disk
makes this harder than it needs to be. One of the things I intend to do
is dump LVM and use direct partitioning, so I prefer to have the full
distro available just in case I have to do a reinstall.
