Today, I decided to upgrade my Ubuntu 5.10 instance in VMware to Ubuntu 6.06 Beta Dapper Drake. It is very easy to upgrade from Breezy to Dapper by doing as follows.

1. Update all softwares to the most recent version
2. Run the following command

   gksudo "update-manager -d"

3. Wait

By the way, I got some troubles regarding video driver and mouse driver. To fix these problem, I followed the instruction for FC5 posted at VMTN. In some cases, the mouse driver may be not installed properly. You may copy the driver manually using below command.

cd vmware-tools-distrib
cp lib/configurator/XOrg/6.8.x/vmmouse_drv.o /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/

The wait is over. Just do it.
