Not that this would have helped in your situation, but I understand
that 2006 RC2 has a vastly improved upgrade process from previous
versions. In the past, I have been so paranoid of their upgrade process
that (after the first failed attempt) I never do an upgrade, instead
opting for a full reinstall. This is fairly simple with Linux if your
organized (I have had to force myself to be).<br>
