Easiest way to upgrade Edgy>Feisty?

[Red Knuckles]

What's the easiest/fastest way to upgrade Edgy to Feisty [as of today Herd 3 is latest].
Now perhaps a better question, what is the best/safest way to upgrade Edgy to Feisty. Best/safest is probably from .iso CD would be my guess.

Well, the safest way is not to upgrade at all but to do a fresh reinstall from the CD.

However, if you are upgrading, you just edit your sources.list:

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.old
kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list

Do a find/replace on the word edgy for the word feisty. Then do the actual upgrade:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

Expect a lot of breakage and the slight possibility of a totally unusable system. If that result doesn't sound appealing to you, stick with Edgy until April.

My method:
I have a / and a /home partition. When I install a new release I just tell the installer to format the / partition and to keep the data on /home partition.
Works perfectly since Dapper Flight 4

I decided to do a fresh install of Feisty but can get it to install from the Live CD. Here's where I'm at with problem solving that:
