Having just done one - and noted the minor problems - I'll happily do
another one or two.
KDE from 2.2 - 3.3 was hard to fathom, as was the change in the format
of the Debian apt entries - but other than that, pretty much a breeze.
The upgrade from kernel 2.4 - 2.6 (which a lot of people will be tempted
to do) breaks some modules for me - for others it breaks a whole lot
more. Is there a set of simple instructions, for example, to explain
how to move a mouse from ps2 to mousedev.ko and psmouse.ko and make
the changes stick? Similarly, udev and hal could break things for some
folk - I had someone on the phone for an hour trying to sort things out.
