*Offline Upgrade.* *1.* Get the ALTERNATE installation CD here:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/*(Upgrade to 10.10) OR** * *http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/(Upgrade to 10.04) OR** * *http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/(Upgrade to 9.10)* *DO NOT* get the Desktop version. What you are looking for is an ISO file with "ALTERNATE" in its name - most likely - "ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso". If possible, and ONLY IF you know how to, please reduce stress on Ubuntu's servers by downloading the torrent file which is at the bottom of the page. *2.* Burn the CD OR If you hate CDs, like me ... ;) Just mount the iso file. Go to a terminal (ie command prompt) and type: *sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso /cdrom* Example: My iso file was saved to E: drive in Windows and I had to "go up" using Ubuntu's windows explorer equivalent to find out the path. The command I used was this: "sudo mount -o loop /media/disk/Ubuntu/ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso /cdrom". *Tip: If you run into low space error, bring up a terminal and run the following commands to clean junk files fr prev upgrade or updates:* ** *sudo apt-get clean*** *sudo apt-get autoclean* ***sudo apt-get remove* *3.* You will see a pop-up window that says: "A distribution volume with software packages has been detected" Click as per instructions on the screen. Updating will still take some time -less than 1 hr for me - but still less time than what it says on the window that does the updating. If you cannot find any upgrade dialog, try holding ALT and press F2, then type this on the Run window: * gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"* OR *kdesudo "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"* (in Kubuntu only) *TIP: When I started this article (using Ubuntu 9.04), cdrom and cdrom0 pointed to the same device, also the cdrom location was in "/media/cdrom" instead of in "/cdrom" now. Keep this in mind if you find that this is not working for you one day; check that your cdrom is actually located at "/cdrom" in Nautilus. If not, modify the cdrom path accordingly. * *4.* Done! And enjoy your new Ubuntu. :) It's good to have it as a FREE maintenance OS, living side-by-side on the same partition with Windows. I have it just in case Windows decided to die on me but find myself using it more and more. ;) ** *IF you run into errors* while upgrading, *DO NOT panic!* Just follow any instructions that may appear on your screen. Most likely, Ubuntu will be know if any package did not install correctly and have a Warning icon on the taskbar for you to click on. If you are impatient, go to the Synaptic Package Manager, under Preferences. You should be able to find these packages under "Broken Install" or something similiar sounding.
