Upgrading using the alternate CD/DVD Use this method if the system being upgraded is not connected to the Internet. 1. Download and burn the alternate installation CD. 2. Insert it into your CD-ROM drive. 3. A dialog will be displayed offering you the opportunity to upgrade using that CD. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions. If the upgrade dialog is not displayed for any reason, you may also run the following command using Alt F2: gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" Or in Kubuntu run the following command using Alt F2: kdesu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"
