How to upgrade from warty to hoary...

[Matthew S-H]

1.  Should be okay as long as you disable all the other repositories.  
If you want to keep universe, multiverse, etc. running, then you should 
change them too to Hoary.
2.  I doubt it would make a difference.  I believe apt/Synaptic will 
only connect to one at a time for each download.  And it should be able 
to download more than one file at a time regardless.
3.  Yes, it will resume; if you cancel the upgrade during package 272 of 
320 (random numbers, haha), it will start again at the beginning of 
package 272.
4.  If you selectd the "download only" option, you could still install 
by doing the exact same things.  The download only option just 
downloads a copy to your hard drive and uses that copy the next time 
you install (at least, this is how it works in Synaptic).
5.  I'll leave this to other ppl.  I'm not quite sure.
