Those of us who followed the recommendations of the docs installed 1.1 on
one partition. I upgraded to 1.2 by just gradually installing all the 1.2
packages, but now I have realised the error of one partition and I will be
installing 1.3 from a clean hard disk on to several partitions - with
/home and /usr/local backed up and reinstalled of course.
