doing a cp -a, means boot in single user mode ( you can’t copy live partitions reliably) and copy all your mounted partitions/directories except home ( you should have space for that) to some empty partition. Wait for some 7GB of data to be copied and then proceed for installation. If you regret your choice, copy 7GB back. I do not find it practical.

I don’t understand people “upgrading” an OS and regretting it.
All you needed to do was “cp -a” to make a copy of your OS to a new partition and upgrade the copy. If it’s not a keeper just delete it and stay with the original OS. So simple and so risk free. Multi-boot. Edit /etc/fstab in the copy partition before booting the copy or you may be making changes to the original partition!
I’m still using Ubuntu 7.04, but I’ve tried 7.10 and 8.04. Also tried Mandriva 2008.1, Fedora9 and lots more.
