The differences between 3.0 and 3.1 are small enough that you could probably just do a clean 3.1 install onto a separate partition then copy the files directly over the top your 3.0 (having backed it up first).

That would be very handy, the previous owner had lots of bits and bobs setup that I don't want to loose.


If you do take this route, be sure to re-apply any changes to the S:startup-sequence and S:user-startup sequence files. As I say, back the working 3.0 partition up first.

You can certainly run Workbench 3.1 on Kickstart 3.0 (probably a few gotchas waiting in there for you in doing so), but I wouldn't recommend using Workbench 3.1 without Kickstart 3.1, especially if is needed to support a piece of hardware is said to require "3.1".
