It's doable, but tricky.  You can't just do one big upgrade.  You have 
to fiddle with the packages a bit and do some a bit at a time.  I did 
manage to get it to work, but it was very difficult.

You're much better off to just do an upgrade using the CDs.  It's a lot 
quicker (and very much easier) that way and you'll still keep your 
configurations.
