Is the upgrade like the install, full of annoying questions that stop
the upgrade process until a response is entered? I find this aspect of
Debian somewhat annoying. RedHat installs by asking questions before
and after, but none during the install. Very quick feeling, as one does
not have to monitor the process as it proceeds.

I want to do the upgrade because of all the nifty packages available,
that require new libraries. :(
