Are you talking about doing this over the Internet or from a DVD? In my experience, it is far, far safer to re-install from scratch rather than trying to do an update. All one has to do is ensure that your /home is not overwritten or formated and one does this when the install gets to the place where partitioning method is being requested : go for "custom" then select those partitions to format and mount, leaving /home unaffected but the mount point set up. I found that a complete install from DVD took about 25 minutes (desktop mode with just about all the bells and whistles included). I am using an Asus Sempron with 1 GBy RAM, a SATA main drive and two IDE hard drives for other partitions. Otherwise, I have always had problems when trying to do an update.
