Change your repositories in synaptic, or sudo vi
/etc/apt/sources.list, and replace "warty" with "hoary" wherever it
appears.

Then do a reload and smart upgrade in Synaptic, or:
apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

And you will have a hoary system. You will need to log out and log in
again to get the desktop environment reloaded, and you would need to
reboot to get the 2.6.10 kernel running.

I've done this a few times, and it has worked perfectly for me every time.
