Thank, but no thanks... :)
1) A clean install is clearly ~way~ simpler, cleaner and safer,
especially when moving between major release levels. Even
if this was not a good enough reason, I'm installing on a new,
higher capacity HD.
2) Forcing the user to work again and again his/her way manually
thru a list of over 1000 packages is INSANE.
There ought to be a better way. Anyone? (Mandrake...?)
