No leap of faith at all, I had everything in backup ;-)
clean install is the only way assuming, hint hint, you have /home on its own partition.
Well, as I wrote, it didn't go so bad (once I got the system to actually boot properly). I figured I'd try the update first, and if too much trouble, just do a clean install and bring /home, /usr/local and /srv from backup. But I don't think that will be necessary afterall. Which is good. Updating (even with the troubleshooting) still took less time than I think I full install would (what with all the ensuing tinkering to make everything behave like in the previous install). Adalberto
