Following the instructions for a 7.04 to 7.10 Beta distro upgrade, the system failed to install or configure some files, then stalled at %2 installation for hours on configuring some lib, never went beyond that. Canceling this of course resulted in a broken OS (as the message said it would).
I guess I shouldnt have expected better, the Ubuntu distro upgrade tools have _always_ resulted in a broken install for me, but I was hoping that this time might be different.
Kubuntu is still my distro of choice, and I am just going to do a fresh install, but the whole upgrade process really needs to be looked at. I assume that it works for some people, otherwise they wouldnt have it in there, but it has never worked for me and I have tried it on practically every version.
Just a fair warning to those thinking of using this tool, I would not try it, just back up your home dirs and do a fresh install from CD.
