I installed from a DVD.  In the past the DVD has always offered me the
chance to upgrade, which didn't happen this time.  This didn't bother
me, since upgrades have never worked properly, so I installed fresh.  My
uid's and gid's were changed automatically as part of the installation
process.  Maybe I should have used preupgrade, but I was suspicious
since, as I wrote, upgrades have generally worked right.
