Upgrade from Ubuntu Feisty to Gutsy: the one-liner version

Here’s the one-liner version of the Feisty (7.04) to Gutsy (7.10) upgrade (in case the distribution upgrade tool fails — it failed in my computer=. Copy and paste this on an open console window, and you’re very probably set:

sudo sed -i 's/feisty/gutsy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If at some point any of those processes fail, you will be returned back to the console. dist-upgrade will require your confirmation, so don’t just take off before the confirmation question.

    Just to warn you ! Gutsy upgrade break usb automounts, so if this is important to you wait until solution is found or make a clean install. See bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-mount/+bug/130490

    You can slap -y into the apt-get dist-upgrade to just skip the confirmation.
