I would not attempt the upgrade. = If you do, you need to go to 5, then to 6, then to 7 all the way and in = some cases you would need to update the minor releases. In between all = that you would have to upgrade all the packages. Your best bet is as indicated. Setup a new system with the desired = packages and works on transferring your data. Best of luck.
