JD, I get the idea, but not the mechanics. Are you saying the upgrader 
should create an image of the system partition (ala clonezilla or 
partimage) before starting the actual upgrade? Windows sort of does this 
when you install a new version (and the backup store is a minor pain to 
delete after a successful upgrade).
