Yes, you can upgrade but you need the alternate cd of intrepid instead
of the live cd. Then follow these steps:
1. Download the alternate installation CD
2. Burn the ISO to a CD and insert it into the CD-ROM drive of the
computer to be upgraded.
* If the ISO file is on the computer to be upgraded, you
could avoid wasting a CD by mounting the ISO as a drive with a command
like:
sudo mount -o loop
~/Desktop/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom0
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"
