Can I upgrade to Ultimate Edition from Feisty?

Postby TheeMahn » Tue Oct 16, 2007 9:44 am

This post is being made just for those that don't want to take the "Nestea plunge" ;) This is a question that has plagued me in the past (tons of PM's) and I am now taking the time to address this issue for the second time, could not find my previous post ;)

Can I upgrade from Feisty to Ultimate Edition?

Technically no, but you can get close to it will not change your theme background and probably a chunk of software is missed but a great start. I have taken the time to write a script just for you fellas that addresses this issue it will get you onboard, before doing any of the below you will need to add my repo. This has only been tested (and not by me) using Feisty Fawn, nothing for Edgy based and there won't be.. As always I publish my code openly:
Code: Select all
