Unless you've got a whole day to kill, I'd reinstall... see my thread:
Edgy to Feisty Upgrade - CD/Time
That said, the upgrade (albeit slower than reloading an entire IBM 3705)
worked as advertised for me. On my other systems, reinstalling from the
Alternate CD, moving the data back over etc., only took a few hours.
*But* then I spent a couple days tuning each desktop to get them back
just as I wanted them - so either way it will take time.
