    download and boot from 2.5 iso and choose "Update" from the installer.

    If your Mac Mini is set up to boot directly into MorphOS, you probably need to set it back to MacOSX as default boot first.
    If not you might get an error message when booting from the 2.5 install CD.

    Alternatively you can hit cmd-opt-o-f (win-alt-o-f) and then in openfirmware write:
    Code:

    boot cd:\mac_ppc32\boot.img

    No, the installer will update only the MorphOS directory on the system partition and the boot.img file on the boot partition, keeping the backup of the older ones.
