Ubuntu 5.10 to 6.06 Upgrade Experience

[Dazed_75]

I've been following this discussion about the results people are seeing but
no one seems to mention the procedure they are using.  I find that curious
in that a search on the Ubuntu web site seems to only give the procedure
from BEFORE release where you issued a command to include pre-release
repositories.  Oh, I did see some references about change "breezy" to
"dapper" in a file but it also was not clear about the whole procedure.

Now I have not downloaded the CD image to see if using it detects your
current installation and offers to upgrade but one would expect to see more
info than that there is a new tool you can use to do an upgrade.  I'll dl
and make a CD tonight, but if any of you experts could point me at any clear
instructions for doing the Breezy -> Dapper upgrade, I would appreciate it.

Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.
