I had no serious issues with a 7.2 to 7.3 upgrade install here. Not sure if 7.0 to 7.3 is more risky or not.
Another method I've used if you have a separate /home partition is to tarball /etc/ into my homedir and run a clean install without formatting /home. Once I've installed and rebooted I login, untar the /etc backup and move most of my custom configs back to the new /etc. After a few hours work your back in business. > > __________________________________________________________________ > Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.
