Well, it's kinda difficult to do when the install you *want* to  
upgrade won't boot. :-) I had a "failed" F12 install that I was  
upgrading. Since the upgrade completed, and it's not finishing the  
boot (freezes at the splash screen) I'm looking more and more at  
re-doing the F12 install. :-(

Yeah. I think I might step back one version and see.

Well, this is the first time it's really bitten me. As I posted in  
response to the developers closing my bugzilla report, they need to at  
least warn us before installing if they aren't going to let us  
customize an upgrade.

Yeah... I think I'm going to step back to F12 and see if that works  
any better. F13 just isn't "ready for primtime" in my opinion.
