first replace /etc/apt/sources.list by doing the following
wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list http://kanotix.com/files/excalibur/sources.list
then, in init 3, do
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade.
This worked for me except I had to reinstall gimp later.

To make things easier, Kano wrote on 16 february:
to speed up update of locales, do in konsole

echo $LANG UTF-8 > /etc/locale.gen

to avoid many questions, do

DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y dist-upgrade

otherwise always push ENTER

if there are problems, do

dpkg --configure -a
or
apt-get install -f

if the dist-upgrade is interrupted, resume with

apt-get dist-upgrade

until no more packages are upgraded.

apt-get install joystick
is eventually needed separately

Best not to reboot before the dist-upgrade has completely run

Hope this covers most of it - good luck
