Hi Jerry & Misko,
Updated...
Tested on my HP Laptop i5-4200u not i5-4500u
Including re-boot the upgrade took approx 7 mins, the home-upgrade part seemed to be almost instantaneous.
All appears to be working fine, tested networking, printing and common apps.
Many Thanks... Dave

I essentially made 3 changes:
- Consolidate running zenity based commands using a function (so any changes to behavior are done in one place and code is cleaner)
- Replaced the multiple 'sed -i' replacements of the theme text with a single 'sed -f'
- Moved/changed logic to exit if user does not want to upgrade

further to my post about the upgrade taking 45 mins,
I should have added that this was on a old netbook with a 16 gig SSD, which slow read write times made it almost unusable.
But LL made it at least usable and this 45 mins should be the maximum time anyone should take.
I think Dave's 7 minutes is pretty awesome.
Keith.

Hello!
I ran the upgrade script on a Samsung RV515-A03US with 8GB RAM and a 1TB HD, and it only took a couple of minutes to upgrade. This is a LOT less time than ANY of the Ubuntu upgrades take. Will keep you informed as I upgrade the other lappies around here.
I ended up with some leftover GRUB entries from 2.0, which I edited out with Grub Customizer. Other than that, it worked like a champ...

UPDATE: I upgraded the 32-bit 2.0 install on my Gateway Tablet PC (M285E, 2 GB RAM, 320GB HD) to 2.2. It was successful, but I had to run boot-repair on it to fix GRUB, then reinstalled grub-customizer. All better now, and what you came up with is certainly better than not being able to upgrade!
Did the upgrade on the HP nc6320 (4 GB RAM, 1 TB HD) after (temporarily) removing grub-customizer, and reinstalled GC afterward. No issues other than having to update the GRUB entries to reflect 2.2 instead of 2.0...
