Can I upgrade a 10.0 to 11.0 by choosing the Installation ==> Upgrade option from the DVD? (I tried this by installing 10.0 under VMware but when booting from the DVD and attemting the install, it cannot see the virtual hard drive. I am running an older version 1.0.3 of VMware Server.)
Thank you,

Lucky,
...you would have to be to pull that off. I wouldn't. It is possible, but not probable if you want to make sure nothing will bite you later.
The jump from 10.0 to 11.0 is huge in a lot of core package areas. Just do it the right way and do a clean install.
Backup all data (usually /home)
Backup needed configs, "if any" (usually /etc/...., sometimes /var/lib)
Backup mail (/var/spool/mail)
Backup web (/srv/www/htdocs, and anything else you have squirreled away)
Backup smb shares (if outside of /home/samba)
Pop the 11.0 dvd and reboot for a clean install
substitute "Restore" for "Backup" above and finish
