Hi Ian,

Downgrading Ubuntu is widely agreed that it's not a good idea.  However,
if Gutsy's really not working out backup at least "/etc" "/home"; then
if it isn't successful at least you can perform a fresh install of
Feisty (my recommended first choice).

There was a "question" on launchpad raised recently on this subject:
https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/15631

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,
Dave Walker
