Hmm, I tried the upgrade on my laptop too and was having similar problems. After downloading upgrades for several hours, the upgrade abruptly stopped with corrupt packages. I had something like 25 broken packages and was having trouble fixing them. I eventually gave up and did a clean install. However, this wasn't so bad, since I had already set up my partitions really nicely. I have a 10GB partition for / (this is actually a little too large -- 6 or 7 would still be more than I would ever need), a 2GB partition for swap, and the rest is for /home/adam/. That way, when I do a clean install, I keep home and swap, and just install to that first partition. Then I can keep all my files, as well as all the settings that are stored in my home folder. When I booted up after a clean install, ubuntu remembered by desktop background and several other settings, such as keyboard shortcuts. It was amazing. The only disadvantage is that I had to reinstall some applications. However, Don Bindner has set up a local mirror for ubuntu repositories. I can get speeds of over 10 Mb/s. I'm not sure whether it is set up for feisty yet or not, but I know it will be soon. So in short, if you eventually decide on doing a clean install and haven't already partitioned your hard drive like this, I highly recommend it. Since you still have a terminal, you would still be able to backup your files. But as far as an upgrade goes, I didn't have much luck.

About the upgrade from Edgy to Feisty . . . I was having trouble getting my computer to upgrade, and when I finally coerced it into doing so, it messed up all the fonts on my desktop. The only thing with legible text is my command line. I have an IBM thinkpad :-( Could anyone help me out? It would be much appreciated. -- Abigail Temple oren sin cesar - I Thes 5:17
