How to upgrade from warty to hoary...

[skoal]

Leif, thanks for the outstanding suggestions with Synaptic.  My download
of Hoarty just finished and I'm typing to you in it now.

My personal experiences with the Synaptic upgrade:

1. I selected to overwrite the 'blacklist' file.
2. I selected to overwrite the Nvidia-glx package.
3. I had 3 packages that 'failed', so I went back and re-upgraded them
per your suggestion.  I then checked again for updates and found none.
4. I rebooted with -no- problems and have the latest and greatest
Ubuntu.  Sweet...

One note, I didn't like the use of the autohinter set to true (after
the upgrade), so I edited '/etc/fonts/local.conf' and set it to false. 
All my fonts look just as sweet as before now.

Thanks again.  Man, this synaptic is really sweet, and my hats off to
the developers of Ubuntu.  Really painless upgrade for me.
