So I was running 11.0, played around with KDE 4, took up more CPU than compiz so stuck with compiz. I had encrypted all my partitions, so I knew an upgrade would probably be problematic...
I put in the DVD, booted up, and the upgrade did not look like an upgrade at all, nor could I see a good way to provide my passphrase, or point which partition as to where it should be mounted. So kinda what I expected...
It boots like "installer", till it reaches a point where it asks what you want to do: install new, on top, or upgrade. I'm not sure now if the option is a bit hidden, but it is in that window.
Then, once you tell it where your root is, what it does is read everything, you can not change configurations. It should ask for your password at the point where it reads the partitions.
I did get to the point where it asked whether I wanted an upgrade or a new install. But no request for my passphrase so I know it wasn't reading my installed packages, especially when I ventured down the path a bit and it only listed like 600 packages, and if I remember correctly they were listed as *new* not *upgrade* or anything like that. I may try some fresh installs into a VM, to make sure I didn't miss something with the partioner as I have heard that its not quite like before so maybe I just didn't see something and was too hasty.
