I just received the YDL 2.3 CDs and I want to upgrade from YDL 2.2, what
is the best way? Can I boot up from the YDL 2.3 CD and it will upgrade it or
do I have to do a full reinstall? I really don't want to do a reinstall.

You really do :) Save yourself hours of grief: back up your user data
if its not on its own partition and reinstall from scratch. You'll be
back up and running in much less time than you think, with a much
cleaner system than you'll ever get by trying to update individual
packages. On my system it took under 2 hours, total, to install and
fully configure 2.3 from scratch, including all the local fixes and
local data from the 2.2 installation it replaced.
