Did my first upgrade last night following the Release Notes, and this is pretty much exactly the estimate it took for me. I run about as vanilla of a Lenny system as possible, and the only hiccup was with fstab not mounting my vfat storage partition (the "noauto" option worked in Lenny, but Squeeze did not auto-mount the drive, so I changed to "auto"). On a side note, my Lenny installation was 3.6 GB per clonezilla when I backed up before upgrading, but 5.9 GB after upgrading to Squeeze, with running apt-get autoremove per the Release Notes upon completion of the upgrade. Am I missing a step after upgrading that helps get the footprint smaller?
