I forgot what my architecture was for downloading the install media. Had to check my /proc/cpuinfo. AMD 64, duh.

Downloaded the alternate installer for amd64 from OSU OSL.

Checked the md5sum: good.

Popped the CD in, and didn't even have to reboot. It detected that a distribution update was on the CD and asked if it should run the installer. Nice.

I opted to not use the network to get the latest updates to make the upgrade go faster.

The installer disabled 3rd party sources.

The installer told me what packages are no longer supported. 

70 packages will be removed.
154 new packages will be installed.
1114 packages will be upgraded.

Started upgrade at 8:28am

Network Manager applet failed because it couldn't find necessary resources. No big deal.

It paused the upgrade to have me confirm the restart of pam.

At 9:52 it was about 30% done with an estimated 2 hours to completion.
