Going from Dapper --> Edgy --> Feisty would involve two complete
dist-upgrades ( you can't really go direct from Dapper --> Feisty )

Have a look at

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Upgrade

where you will see, in the "similar names" column on the right, links to
advice for Dapper --> Edgy and Edgy --> Feisty

On the whole, though, it might be easier and quicker to simply install
Feisty directly, after backing up your data from Dapper, IMO , since each
upgrade will take time and bandwidth.
