Although I'm not sure if you can upgrade an installation without
Upgrade using the graphical update manager, +not+ apt-get. It is not
equivalent anymore, sadly.
Also there are some packages it is worth removing before an upgrade (and
reinstalling after) such as binary drivers from nvidia or ati, or any
third party stuff you have installed.

I have a small partition that I used for Ubuntu testing..It is now up to
dapper..
Anyone tried upgrading Dapper to Fiesty and if so how did it go and
what are the repo addresses...I am not particularly bothered if it fails
as I can always install from cd but would like to give the upgrade a whirl
I don't think you can update from dapper to Feisty, you can only update
from edgy to feisty (so I think).
and what's the point of using feisty? at this point, feisty should only
be used by developpers who can fix things when they go wrong.

I'm pretty sure it's possible to jump a release for upgrading, just make
sure you use the upgrade manager. The repositories will be the same

On booting up Edgy a couple of hours ago I was advised that there were
10 updates available to me, mainly upgrading the kernel. I dutifully
downloaded them and following the usual instructions rebooted the
machine, except that I couldn't, the loader got no further than
'loading kernel' and then

Firstly, to Tony, why do you want to upgrade a machine 300 miles away.
Assuming it's on Dapper, what is there in Edgy that your mum has a
