1: it's hosed. give up, reinstall.

2: upgrading between distrobutions is pretty much impossible, not to
mention very likely to break everything.

3: when doing major changes like this, you're best off starting over.



more advice:

back up your data before putting it at risk.

rebuilds are faster than recoveries, 8 out of 10 times.

once you've chosen a distribution of linux, stick with it.
