Man, it's been so long. I don't expect you to give me a
step-by-step, but are the broad strokes that I would make a CD or
DVD on another PC, then boot from that to do the fresh installation?<br>
Is there a command I can run, then at boot the installation would
begin? I assumed I was going to lose everything anyway - I'm good
about backing up data. <br>

<div>Okay, I think you may be able to just run
"sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and things will
work fine. It failed to run that second
part because the update failed on some
custom PPA's you installed. The
dist-upgrade should then disable the PPA's
and do the upgrade. <br>
