Comment 15 for bug 1190990

Upgrading is not that easy. There's always a lot of re-installing and tweaking of installed software involved and besides that the fan of that laptop needs to be cleaned first (which involves a total dismantling and reassembling of it) as I don't want to it stop half-way during upgrading due to high CPU-temps. That could be pretty disastrous. All that just takes too much time at the moment.
Wouldn't it be possible to just copy and transplant the necessary files from my 13.10/64 desktop to my 12.10/64 laptop and then reboot? I (roughly) compared the dependencies and there doesn't seem to be much difference between them, so this might work. Or am I just being completely clueless here (you wouldn't surprise or upset me if you said I am ;-) ?
