someone at my linux usergroup or lug once said to me that i don't need to do fresh installs when upgrading from one version of ubuntu to another. if this is so is the most accessiable way for someone totally blind to do it who doesn't have a sighted person around whose family are not linux users is to edit all the entries that beginn with deb in the etcstapsstsourcestddlist and do an apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade? i notice the update-manager is fairly accessible when doing a simple update to get the latest fixes and security etc but once when i tried to use it to do an upgrade someone said my dowload had not started after i did an alt f2 update-manager comd command, hit enter on the upgrade button and typed my admin password. my guess is that there is a dialogue box which comes up with some other button that possibly needs to be tabbed to which needs hitting before the actual upgrade starts and that if you don't locate this button and enter on it, the operating system will not upgrade properly if at all.
