if your upgrade is successful, you hopefully won't have to re-setup much

I used the ELF-howto to upgrade, then used that for a few weeks before I realized I'd
just have to give up and reinstall a full ELF system.  Not that my system wasn't usable,
just that maintaining two sets of libraries was difficult.

My suggestion to you is back up all your important data and configuration files and
make a clean install of a complete ELF system.
