I use a Karmic Koala and I want to upgrade to Lucid Lynx. All the packages are up to date. So if I upgrade online, how much data download am I looking at? I have a sufficiently fast connection, but I have a limit on the data that I can download. Is it less than downloading a Lucid Lynx CD? Can I get an exact figure somehow?

...if you have spare partition, would suggest that you do a fresh install of lucid rather that an upgrade, but if you should push thru with your upgrade...do a backup of your important files.

Why? Is Lucid unstable? Or is it upgrading that is unreliable?
P.S. I've separate partitions for /home and /usr.
