I upgraded both machines (32-bit netbook and 64-bit desktop pc) instead of clean installing because I was a bit curious about how that'd go and I really didn't feel like doing the unetbootin thing on the netbook.
Anyway, I changed karmic to lucid in sources.list
sudo sed -i 's/karmic/lucid/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
(I heart sed)
and did both machines using "update-notifier-kde -d".
Both machines commented out my non-Canonical repos (probably a good idea) downloaded about 1400 packages and both machines crashed hard during the install.
Brought them back up in single-user mode and did
dpkg --configure -a
and
apt-get upgrade -f
and got them both running. The only stupid move I made (so far) was the 64-bit install asked me where I wanted to put grub and I misread the screen and put grub on sda1 but a super grub disk fixed that in about five minutes.
Had two wicd icons in the tray on the netbook for awhile but that's because I was pulling wicd from its own repo and lucid added another shortcut - I just renamed one of the entries in /etc/xdg/autostart and that got fixed. Reenabled my non-Canonical repos (except wicd - the one in lucid seems to work fine) and everything's fixed.
The repos are slow and it took about four hours to download all the updates but everything seems to work now.
