Is that what you're trying to do? (you probably know more about what you're doing than I do, and my comments/questions are just based off of my own experience)

The upgrade process, considering I don't have much of anything to backup inthe way of third=-party apps, etc., only took me about 35 minutes (and that's just a guess because I wasn't really paying close attention to the time so much as the end results).

Good luck!

I agree completely....don't touch DM at all....use the loader after you have removed the vendor specific file. The entire process took me 23 minutes. All of my preferences, addresses, calendars, third party apps, etc. were preserved
