tweak then update 4.2.4 or update 4.2.4 then tweak? need suggestions

[binskipy2u]

On a clean install of 4.2.2 kubuntu.. my question is.. I have some tweaks, for ext3, concurrency, boot tweaks, stuff that works on all "buntus" and they do work.. my question is.. should i install 4.2.2. then tweak it, then update it w/default repos, then add the ppa one, to go to 4.2.4
or install 4.2.2. , update repos to ppa one, then dist-upgrade, then reboot and then tweak/add software I want.
whats the most stable way to do this?

any info/experience would be most appreciated..
thanks

Upgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.2.4 really shouldn't change the settings you mentioned. They will persist. It will only upgrade the kde apps and libs that have been updated by the developers. Your personal preferences and your tweaks to the root folder shouldn't be affected at all.
