Clean installs generally work. Updates don't alwaysdue to various factors related to changes in the updated files. Be that as it may, I often upgrade, but I try to do it a few (20 of so) files at a time. Experience has taught me that upgrading 100+ files at once is asking for problems. YMMV.

huh? don't know that one
side line, my backups are usually ok, BUT this time i'd made myself a some more space on /morespc forgot!!! opps, oh well, only 2 seasons of a tv show. nothing serious.
have u tried lucid beta2? it wasn't its fault it went wrong, power failurs being the main problem.
i think it's faster karmic. but myfriend has noticed, LTS ones xx.4 seem to work better, namly jaunty was good too.
Did a quick run of Lubuntu-Lucid-Beta2 off a 1GB USB stick. Seemed to work very well. My desktop installation of Lubuntu is an upgrade from a fresh install of Lubuntu from an alpha iso; no upgrade problems from alpha to beta
