i suppose that might work, then i could just re-follow the instructions
for creating a bridge connection for my virtual machine.  what settings
would i copy and where are they located?

i would not consider a fresh install since that would require a ton of
configuring which the upgrade is supposed to avoid.  now that i am on
the LTS release i intend to keep it there until the next LTS release.
