Not exactly true.  When upgrading, Evo will upgrade data from previous
versions if necessary.  However I fear that what you are trying to do
(upgrade 1.x to 2.24) is just too disparate.  There was a big change in
the data structures from 1.x to 2.x and early versions of 2.x managed
the upgrade without any problems - and subsequent upgrades of 2.x to 2.y
also worked.  They worked seamlessly, that's probably why you haven't
found anything about it on the net.

BTW, I know this to be true because I've been upgrading Evo since before
1.4 and am now on 2.26.

I would have thought as well that you are going to have problems with
other things trying to upgrade from FC2 to Ubuntu 8.10 - not only is it
a big upgrade in terms of time difference, but it's also a difficult
upgrade in going across distros.

A few other comments - why are you going to Ubuntu 8.10, why not the
most recent version?  Also, and probably more importantly, if you are in
the habit of keeping an installation for a long time, why use a distro
that has a short lifetime (like Fedora or Ubuntu8.10), you would be
better off using a long term distro like CentOS or which ever Ubuntu it
was that had long support - at least then you will keep up to date with
security updates and have a reasonable chance of having versions that
aren't woefully out of date!
