test the new Kubuntu Dist Upgrade tool!

if you don't already have an edgy system make a chroot and install kubuntu-desktop:

• mkdir edgy
• sudo debootstrap edgy edgy
• mount -t none -o bind /tmp edgy/tmp
• mount -t none -o bind /dev edgy/dev
• mount -t none -o bind /proc edgy/proc
• xhost +
• sudo chroot edgy
• export LANG=C
• apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

Add this to sources.list:

deb http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/edgy-dist-upgrade/ ./

• apt-get update
• apt-get dist-upgrade

(or you can use adept-updater)

Now (re)start adept-updater and follow the prompts until it tells you there is a new version of Kubuntu

it will download the dist upgrade tool, and (fingers crossed) will run it.
