Seams there was a thread I missed that answers at least some of my
questions... Guess I should have checked for NEW kubuntu messages BEFORE
I posted...<sheepish grin>
In a message with the Subject: Re: Hoary -> Breezy upgrade
It would appear that on Dec 22, Martin J Hooper did say:
> In sources.list replace every occurance of Hoary with Breezy.

> apt-get update
> apt-get dist-upgrade

So I guess that when/if I want to use apt-get to upgrade from breezy to
the next one, I just need to know what they call it and substitute it's
name for each occurrence of "Breezy" in the sources.list And then apply
the two command lines in Martin's post and that's all there is to it?
Sounds way to easy...
