+And if you upgrade from 2, then be very, very patient. You will see a lot of 
+errors when booting and and you need to wait for timeouts to happen. The /usr 
+move kind of happens randomly. You may need to try a few times.  Calculate 
+about 1/2 hour to boot, but eventually you should get there.
+
+This is on a virtual box.
