         I did an upgrade on my 8.10 to 9.05 that appears to have been a 
real success. I have some notes I took while doing the upgrade with the 
regular Update Manager. I first updated the 8.10 to current and then 
upgraded it to 9.05. It did ask some question's about changing some 
parts and I said yes to all.
