The laptop is quite old an only has a 6GB hard drive. I gave / 3GB, swap about 
500MB and the rest for /home.

I understand that the 'kubuntu-desktop' package, although a 'meta package' is 
needed for smooth upgrades - but I can't remember if it required just for 
upgrading to the next 'version' ie. dapper > edgy. If so I could do a fresh 
install next time and give root some more space.

Blessings,

Nigel
