+In this mode, the archive for each package will be downloaded

+only exception are several basic packages that are needed for the

+This mode requires little additional disk space, but it is somewhat
+risky. If something happens to your internet connection during the
+upgrade, you'll end up with partly upgraded (and consequently,

+.I Safe mode
+In safe mode, \fBslackupgrade\fR first downloads all needed packages

+disk copies. Downloaded files are removed when no longer needed, i.e.

+Secondly, if you are upgrading to the version for which there is no
+replacement map, there can be replacement packages for some of the
+orphaned ones. You can create a replacement map and save it to
+the \fB/etc/slackupgrade\fR directory (see the section
+\fBREPLACEMENT MAP\fR for details). If you do, please drop me a note
+so that your changes become available for other users (see the
+\fBBUGS\fR section, for contact information). You can also use the
+\fB\-p\fR command line option to provide the names of replacement
+packages from the command line.
