Hello Athan,

Thanks for your upgrade report! It is very useful to know that users can
recover from problems like lack of disk space without too much hassle.

For your second problem, I suggest the release notes including a
documentation on how to upgrade to 2.6 kernels. I suspect lots of users
will want to do that after upgrading to sarge.

Cheers,
