Heck,  it was easier than upgrading that _other_ windowing operating
system from that company run by the Bill-guy.  Just point the installation
manager at ftp.debian.org,  update the list of available packages,  select
the ones you want to upgrade,  and let it run.  I upgraded from 1.2 to 1.3
this way with no problems.  It's also that easy if you have the updates on
CD-ROM or some other access method ...
