I had terrific problems upgrading.

A) FTP upgrade with a SCSI card wouldn't work because the installer
could not unpack modules.

B) Upgrading from HD partition also wouldn't work -- don't know why --
installer simply rejected correct path every time. (And yes, I *know* it
was correct.)
  
So the installer sucks rocks but the system itself seems to be stable
(using it now on my desktop).
