GEEK - 99% painless
So I've been meaning to do s dist-upgrade under Ubuntu for a week or so to install Intrepid Ibex (8.10). My last in-place upgrade to Hardy Heron didn't go well and I ended up doing a reinstall from scratch. This time however, it was simple as. Only a few probs (Some IO-APIC error on boot but it carries on normally after that, the usual problems with graphics drivers though these were overcome very easily with the default prompts at the first boot, and VMWare not working as usual though this is down to kernel dependencies and I've resolved that often enough that I should be able to sort it again). The cool thing is, the whole upgrade was basically click a few prompts. I've actually put more effort in to writing this blog entry than upgrading the OS. So rock out...:-)
