Beta documentation: upgrades

[Jack Reed]

Sorry for my delay in notifying the list. Yes, I've just exchanged 
emails with Will about this to see how the Install Guide is affected.

Given that it will no longer be possible to upgrade using the installer 
itself, I will be removing the section that covers that. I'll explain 
the new fedup procedure in place of preupgrade in the short 'Upgrading 
Your Current System' chapter later in the guide.

I will keep in touch with Will and tflink to ensure fedup is documented 
accurately.

Cheers,

Jack
