I have Breezy on my machine and would like to install Edgy or Dapper. How do I do it to save my configurations, especially for my sound card (Audigy) and display (1280x1024)?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Installing Edgy or Dapper over Breezy and saving configs
Do you mean upgrade ?
(from breezy to dapper or edgy)
Upgrade:
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change all breezy -> dapper (or edgy). Press alt+f2: kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list. NOTE backup sources.list first !
In the konsole/terminal:
Code:sudo apt-get update
And probablyCode:sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
more:Code:sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
Topic: KDE issues after upgrade

This probably works also in the breezy -> edgy
Upgrading from 6.06 LTS

Re: Installing Edgy or Dapper over Breezy and saving configs
DO NOT, I repeat N*O*T try to upgrade straight from Breezy to Edgy without upgrading to Dapper in between. If you don't want to bother with Dapper, (which some people like better than Edgy), then store all of your personal "stuff", including your /home/joneall/.* <-- note the dot directories and probably your /etc/ directory tree as well. Then install Edgy from scratch, and reinstall all your configurations and your personal files.
The only problem with this method is that some of the configuration files have changed between Breezy and Edgy, but that will seem minor compared to what may happen if you try to upgrade straight from Breezy to Edgy. Then again, it may work for you, but don't do it without at least backing up all your personal files.Comment

Re: Installing Edgy or Dapper over Breezy and saving configs
I haven't tried it, but I would think that the problems going from Dapper to Feisty would be the similar to going from Breezy to Edgy,Comment
