What would the upgrade process be from Gutsy to Edu

2007-11-01 Thread Alfred Nutile
I know there are docs on the ubuntu site but do I just follow those to upgrade by Edubutu (with the edubuntu cdrom) 1. Run update to get all my Feisty apps up to date. 2. Book off the edu cdrom and upgrade? (internet is slow so this is better for me) ??? Thanks Alfred

I have a problem with Flashplayer and Firefox. I've just upgraded from Dapper Dan to Feisty Fox 7.04 in the hope that I would be able to view content on those sites requiring Flash Player 8 or higher. I had Flash Player 7 installed before upgrading. I discovered that the upgrade

. Feisty should be supported until the end of the school year so you won't be compelled (unless you want) to upgrade. There are considerable improvements in gutsy's LTSP -- notably boot speed. Gavin -- edubuntu-users mailing list edubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe
