This kind of update failed totally on my machine :( not only eventually 
the machine hanged up during upgrade (I had to hard reset it) but also 
completely messed up the system so it was unbootable. I ended up 
installing Dapper from scratch.

My take would be: do it right, do clean install and be done with it.

Have fun, anyway!
