Just recovered from update disaster

[Rainer Gutkas]

Hi all!

I just wanted to tell you the story of my breezy update from this 
weekend. I followed the suggestions from ubuntu.com, changes hoary to 
breezy in sources.list ran apt-get dist-upgrade and found myself without 
gdm, and a stable gnome-desktop enviroment.
No chanche to install ubuntu-desktop or anything, apt didn't like it,...
But I didn't mind, I wanted to reinstall the system all over for a long 
time now. And the console did work probably. So I packed my /home folder 
to a tar archive and  backed it up to another maschine. On this other 
maschine I  downloaded  the breezy CD (I had to do it under windows, 
because firefox isn't stable on the hoary install of this maschine, 
after the latest hoary updates, even if I find it quite curious, because 
I seldom use it).
The I reinstalled the whole system from CD and must say, nice work, 
breezy looks great, even if the boot-splash control panel doesn't work.

The I copied the most important settings folders to my new home. 
directory and now got a brand new breezy system running.

MFG,

Rainer
