Upgrade process

This time it's a bit different if you are on KDE version5. Please do as follow:

sudo init 3
sudo cards remove kde5
sudo cards upgrade
sudo cards install kde6
sudo shutdown -y r 0
    After reboot you should be able to loggin into Plasma KDE6.

For all the other ISO, a simple

sudo cards upgrade
shutdown -y -r 0
    should make it.
