upgrade ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04?

There are differences between the desktop and server editions so you're not guaranteed the outcome you're expecting.

@ gharris999 - would be greatful if you could post the script when you're back home. Thx.

Sure thing...after the 21st.

OK, here is my generic Ubuntu new install extra packages script...which I use with new Ubuntu server installs...both 32bit & 64bit. I'm installing a bunch of development libraries here. The software packages I routinely build for myself on these boxes include:

gptfdisk, minidlna, mochad, mp4v2, rsync & squeezeslave

config-newpkgs.sh:

#!/bin/bash

# Extra packages to be installed for a standard Ubuntu server SQUEEZENAS..

if [ "$1" != '--noupdate' ]; then
	apt-get update
fi
