Yes it went ahead with the upgrade when I had nz.archive and dapper.

I am writing this from my removeable back up hard drive as the upgrade completely
destroyed my system. I have heaps of error msgs on paper that I need to type
out tomorrow. The X server fails to start, there is no core keyboard, fatal
server error, failed to initiate core devices.
All I have on the upgrade drive is the console and it still even says breezy badger,
Ubuntu's log in screen appears then goes again and just leaves me with a whole
list of errors and at the end says X server is disabled, go and cofigure
it correctly, or words to that effect.
I dont have a snowballs chance in hell of doing that and I do not even wonder
why people have windoze really.
I just dont understand why it isn't possible to upgrade Ubuntu from one ver
to the next using the upgrade button. Must be a damn good reason I guess!
