Re: upgrade from Don't worry to overload

pacman -Syu

It isn't actually an update 'to' Overlord. You are updating to current. Don't Panic and Overlord are just install disc 'releases'(versions). For example, the versions of packages at the time. Any time you update, you go past the latest disc 'release' and are using the current(most recent) available packages. Thats how Arch works.
