Hi!
It's possible to switch my repositories from stable to cooking just to upgrade my kernel and then switch back?
I look into tazpanel, but I not find an option to change it.
Thanks!

Hi boechat,
I know that you can install some "regular" packages (with depends) from cooking repo. But, what about kernel? Your system may hang, I don't know...
Open your terminal, or better — open console (pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1; back to Desktop via Alt+F7). Log in as root.
Type tazpkg
to see its commands. We need command
set-release Change release and update packages.
To switch to cooking mirror, type tazpkg set-release cooking
You need to be connected to net. TazPkg will connect to the Cooking repo. When it asks you, do you want to upgrade all your packages, answer no (n). If you answer yes, you can break your system, be careful!
To get and install package, type
tazpkg get-install package_name
So, if you want linux
package, type: tazpkg get-install linux
To block package from updating, type: tazpkg block linux
where linux is name of package to be blocked.
To return back to SliTaz 4.0, type: tazpkg set-release 4.0

Other way to get packages: go to pkgs.slitaz.org search for packages you need, you can select "Cooking" release. Press links to download packages to your local folder. Double click package and install it.

But, I think the better way described here: file:///usr/share/doc/tazpkg/tazpkg.html#install (copy-paste this link, or: Applications→Documentation→Tazpkg manual→ scroll to "Install").
First system is HD installation
Boot cooking LiveCD and install packages to your HD installation using --root= parameter with path to it.
Ok.
I broke my system. No problem. It was a new install.
I will reinstall and be quiet with the stable kernel until next release came out.
:)
Thanks Aleksej!
