This is just my note about upgrading (reinstall) my Ubuntu from Karmic to Lucid.

Before installing Lucid :

Backup pidgin logs located in ~/.purple/logs

mkdir ~/backup_pidgin
cp -dfr ~/.purple/logs ~/backup_pidgin

After your Lucid successfully installed, then think what packages you should remove and what packages you should install. In my opinion, default games in Ubuntu is not important, so I remove it all. Then I don’t like these packages :

1. brasero. I don’t need to burning DVD.
2. transmission-common. This package used for sharing file thru torrent service. I need package like this, but I choose vuze.
3. f-spot. I like digiKam.
4. empathy. I like pidgin.
5. gwibber. I don’t need this social microblog package.

sudo apt-get purge -y --force-yes brasero transmission-common aisleriot quadrapassel gnomine gnome-sudoku gnome-mahjongg gnome-games-common gbrainy f-spot empathy
