Hmm, I tried that one. It's more like
s/warty/hoary/
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get -f install
apt-get remove --purge $idiotic_stuff
apt-get dist-upgrade
dpkg blah
*fuck*
few hours later. Can't start X, for some readon the whole computer hangs, last enry in log beeing something about RAC, network is fucked up as eth1 is now eth0 and eth0 is eth2 plus djbdns and daemontools won't work...
reinstall warty from CD
well, well better luck in oktober ;-)
Daemontools? yeah right
I did a upgrade from Hoary to Breezy a few days ago. X froze here also.
What I changed was the keyboard driver "keyboard" to "kbd" + I also had to update my USB mouse, specifically "Dev Phys". (cat /proc/bus/input/devices)
After that X started with no problem.

You can change it in synaptic but from the shell you would do the following: -
1. sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list (sub gedit for text editor of choice)
2. Look for 'warty' and change all instances to 'breezy'.
