Packages on 014 were compiled with a different Glibc, so they won't be
cross-compatible.

The easiest way is to boot the live cd and mount your current
partition. Then 'cd' to the mount point, create a 'Backup' dir and 'mv
* Backup'. 'cd -' to the root of the live cd, umount the partition and
start the Installer. Carefully choosing to *not* format the target
partition, perform the installation and reboot.

You'll have a 014 system with all your previous data and programs
stored in '/Backup'. If you ever need a program that you still didn't
recompile or reinstall for 014, you can always chroot into /Backup and
run it from there. This should be enough (type in a konsole window):

$ cd /Backup
$ mount -o bind /System/Kernel/Devices System/Kernel/Devices
$ mount -o bind /System/Kernel/Status System/Kernel/Status
$ chroot .
$ app
