Installation from DVD should upgrade existing Zorin

This is a suggestion. I first installed the free Zorin. After falling in love with it, I wanted the extra features in the Ultimate distribution. I discovered that the only choice I had was to either create a dual boot or replace the existing installation.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a choice to merge/upgrade like there was when the initial install recognized that I had Ubuntu 11.10 installed?

It's true. It would be. It saves a lot of time for backing up all our data and perform clean installations.

On the other hand, the upgrades scare me a little. There is higly possibility for things to go wrong and end-up with an unstable system (in comparison with a clean-install). Or am I exaggerating?
