Ok, have now completed (with break for sleep...) after 12 hours. In the end the biggest gotchas were for key elements that failed to upgrade appropriately. One was the wireless (2200ABG, ipw3945), which seems to be a general Feisty bug (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux- source-2.6.20/+bug/92748), but did remind me that I still have no idea whether my wireless network comes up if I have no GUI.
The reminder was strong because the other problem comes firmly under the "no, don't release this tool for general consumption without fixing this bug" category. The updater seems to a be a Free Software purist, and ignored the updates necessary to make my ATI X1600 do X. At the very least it should reset it to the free and ugly way, ready to prompt how to get it back to nice and shiny, but as yet non-Free - even include a link to a petition to ask AMD to release the source, but whatever you do, don't let the upgrader out of the door if it breaks shiny GUIs!
