( non myth response )

I've just upgraded my work pc 9.04 to 10.04. The only thing that really
screwed up - as usual - was the sound. It seems that local mods /configs
to get sound working in the old system screwed the new one.

What's it got to do with natty / myth? I'd recommend, if possible, a
clean install, and then transfer your configs across. Testing on a known
baseline ( eg a clean natty install ) is far easier, and so far more
complete than on an upgraded system.

Hopefully, data / databases are on separate partitions, so the creation
of a new bootable one next to it should not be a problem.
