Install Dapper updates

[brandonJackson]

Is there a way to point to the repository that contains the dapper pre-release so that I can update my Breezy install as opposed to overwriting it entirely. I realize that it may not be stable but I would like to see what's new without having to reconfigure everything I already have installed in my Breezy distro.

Thanks,

Brandon Jackson

Re: Install Dapper updates

You can edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and replace all instances of breezy with dapper.

Then simply udpate and upgrade your system as normal, then reboot. As long as you haven't removed the kubuntu-desktop package from your system that should work fine (that packages gets installed by default btw, if you haven't explicitly removed it, it should still be there).

However, a word of warning is in order: Once you've done that, there's no (easy) way back.

Meaning backup your /home directory and anything else you might not want to lose
