New releases often come with a new precompiled kernel in installation
floppies, which may add new functionality. I guess that the install
program will also have new features, though not necessary. In fact,
the installation procedure is quite standard. Partition disk, unpack
sets and setup some things.
I would recommend you to go with new floppies each time, just to be
sure. And I guess that the installation program will change quite
soon because the new 'syspkg' thing.
