a cut-and-paste list of commands is not a tutorial, it´s an excercise
in absurdity. A tutorial would say "run this upgrade script" and point
to a download link for such script, along with any needed screenshots
of the before and after.

The curse of the linux world are the "cut and paste blobs".

In this case the procedure is a handful of lines long, but I´ve seen
blobs spanning a full screen or two.
