Upgrades take a LOT longer than clean installs because the installer has
to check/compare all packages and dependencies rather than simply
installing stuff from the CD.

I"ve done one successfully from 7.0 -> 7.1 but I'll never do
another.  With my home directory on a separate partition I can do a clean
install, make the few modifications/installations I need and be running in
less than an hour which is a lot faster than an upgrade

This was one of the problems I saw with the upgrade process and it's
probably especially bad when going to 7.2 because of the KDE jump to
2.0.  I don't know any solution other than manually fixing each problem.
