I used the upgrade since my winmodem needs a special module that is not free anymore (You have to pay for the developpement since it is not supported by Connexant. I think it is fair but I have no money for that right now). I still have a RPM on my hard drive but it is for kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk. The upgrade went really well ( much faster than in other occasions I tried to upgrade).
Even if I agree it is always better to do a new installation, I have to say that Mandrake developpers did a really good job with the upgrade.
Usually I format everythink except the<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/home directory. But I always create a new user for every version. It works well.
