For new users I wouldn't suggest to install beta software in the first 
place. I don't know if the way Dotan suggested already is simpler than 
reinstalling, but it should at least work. Anyway, I would probably 
prefer a fresh install. OTOH, I don't try beta software on a production 
machine and I'm prepared to reinstall if I try beta software. I even try 
a new Kubuntu version on a separate partition before I upgrade my normal 
systems. That's why I didn't use Intrepid but stayed with Hardy until 
Jaunty was released. I had tested Intrepid and it wasn't good enough for 
me.
