It is possible to do as an upgrade, but inadvisable. See the thread, but 
consider backing up your home and whatever and then doing a clean 
install. The upgrade path seems to leave lots of old stuff you don't 
want or need, etc, directory sizes tend to change which might suggest 
repartitioning, and similar issues.

You can do it, but it may be more work and less satisfactory than 
starting clean.
