not quite THAT simple... you've got to point your repositories at the
new locations first and then make sure you've turned off any other
repositories you may be using for extras and addons, say from Debian
Sarge or backports. You may even have to un install stuff that you've
installed from those third party locations...

anyroad... I'm certain that when Hoary is actually released to the
general public, a very detailed "noddy guide" will be made available
for normal people to follow. It will also have been tested against a
stock install of Warty, and a security updated warty first to make sure
it does work.
