this may sound a little scathing and unfriendly, but if you have your /home folder on a separate partition, It might work out better to just do a clean install...that way there is less to go wrong, IMO.

Trouble is one then has to re-install all the programmes that one was using previously. Takes too long.

Looking forward to a safe Upgrade route.

By he way the Daryna live installations look good.

To reinstall your programs after a new installation you can use AptOnCD. It is basically to restore your computer, it is in the repositories. :wink:
