Don't Upgrade To Natty Narwhal (11.04), Please...

Many Efika MX users are going to be looking at a little dialog box right now from Update Manager telling them that a new Ubuntu software release is ready to be installed.

At this time upgrading to Natty Narwhal (11.04) may sound exciting, but it is not supported on any Efika MX products. Upgrading will brick your system.

We will be shipping a clean installation image, one for Maverick which disables the prompt along with an update to the package repository that will do this for installed systems, and one for Natty shortly, but we will not be supporting upgrades from Maverick to Natty from an installed system.

To reiterate, please do not tell Update Manager to "Upgrade to Natty Narwhal (11.04)" on Efika MX.
