I'd like to download a CD image of the Hardy install disk to have available as a live CD. OTOH, I'd like to use the update manager upgrade tool to switch to the new version (since I'm not entirely sure what all it's doing). I can get an ISO fast either from on campus or using the torrent, whereas I know the repos will be slammed. Is there any way to use that CD to do a proper update (as opposed to a "fresh" install)?
I think this is possible if I just want to do an apt-get dist-upgrade (because I can just add the CD as a repo), but I have no idea if the official Ubuntu upgrade script does extra necessary stuff. It's more important to me that the upgrade happen smoothly than that it happen immediately, so my default attitude is to wait, but it seems like it really ought to be possible to use the CD image with the upgrade tool and get the best of both worlds. Any ideas?
