Breezy 5.10


Anyone tried the new Breezy 5.10 yet?
How does it compare?

I was just coming here to write this very post.

I saw the addendum to the bottom of ubuntuguide.org about how to dist-upgrade to Breezy, and I wondered if anyone had yet.

What I did was to (in /etc/apt/sources.lst)
find/replace hoary/breezy
save and update noting which repositories did not work
find/replace breezy/hoary
copy repositories that did work replacing breezy with hoary.
in xorg.conf use vesa driver
then do a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
and hope

was not easy getting i810 driver working (tried so many things I am unsure what worked)

Final note. ****Do not attempt this on an important box as it may not work and you will have to reload from scratch!! Back-up everything first****

Good luck.
