If you are running Daryna, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and replace all instances of "daryna" with "elyssa". then apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, and apt-get dist-upgrade. That should do it if the Elyssa repos are up yet.

Can someone confirm this method please?
Other question: from elyssa beta upgrading to elyssa final as easy as upgrading from daryna to elyssa beta (in a few weeks)?

Just remember, It is beta, an early beta at that. It is suppose to be broken. 
The idea is for you to find the problems, and hopefully the fixes, and report back to the developers. That is the purpose of having a beta. It isn't suppose to be stable and useful as a desktop system. It is suppose to be a work effort on your part for the project.

This is a direct quote from Clem.

Hi, it's technically feasible but not recommended and there won't be any upgrade instructions until Mint 5 becomes stable.

Just so everyone knows I tried this and it did not work. While a few packages did upgrade to newer versions I'm still on Daryna.
