Re: Ubuntu 6.10 => 7.04 "upgrade" ?



On 2007-04-27, beowulf@xxxxxxxxxxxx <r.oelerich@xxxxxxxxx> rambled on thusly:

Anybody here tried the Ubuntu 6.10 to Ubuntu 7.04 upgrade as available
via the notification icon? I have always done fresh installs when I
used to use other distros, but Ubuntu has been so user friendly as a

Ayup, I had zero problems doing the install.

Oh, no, wait, I'm sorry, I actually went about the upgrade a different way.
I used the "aptitude dist-upgrade && aptitude dist-upgrade && aptitude
install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-14-generic" route. After all of
that finished, I rebooted and had Feisty running. nVidia drivers installed.
XFCE running with Beryl as the window manager.
