[mdlug] [mdlug-discuss] Ubuntu 6.06 to 6.10 Easy Upgrade

[Michael S. Mikowski]

Ahhh -- not such good luck here :(

I upgraded from Kubuntu 6.06LTS to 6.10 Edgy on my work 
laptop and it was /not/ easy.  This is a Dell D610.  
Things broke.  Like dual processor support, wireless, 
vpn, and others.  

The web is rife with stories about the 6.06->6.10 process 
not being as robust as it could be.  Not really 
surprising, as Edgy really includes at least a few whole 
new subsystems, like the new init process and the 
inclusion of network manager.

I finally did a clean install, which worked much better.  
BTW, if anyone is interested, I have a /full/ writeup -- 
about 6 pages -- on how I configured for office work, 
starting with booting from the CD.

Cheers,

Mike
