Our "Upgrade" is something we will have to work on a lot in the future. It
has improved a lot since 7.0, when it more-or-less acted as "rpm -F
*" though.

I was able to successfuly upgrade our last 7.1 beta even from RedHat 6.0
distro, but it was painfully slow and in general still not what we would
like it to be. Try it out, but do not complain about "gee how slow it is".

In particular, do not even attempt upgrade with less than 64 MB of RAM. It
will take forever.
