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:
Attached below is the script, for those that don't like the copy & paste method.
EDIT:I have opened the F.A.Q. for posts and Poll, if it was not successful please feel free to post any problems and perhaps I can resolve them to help other users and modify my main post. Thanks for your attention in this matter.
