Upgrade using a CD?

[novgrod]

Hey gang, is there an easy way to upgrade from dapper to edgy using the edgy CD?
I tried apt cdrom with no luck. The CD mounts, but still no luck.
Any thoughts?

You need the Alternate CD

You cannot upgrade with the Desktop CD

Yeah, I already figured that.
I'm attempting to upgrade my mom's dapper machine to edgy, and dl-ing of the net is not really an option with her dial-up. I tried using the alternate CD, yet I still keep getting an error.
Am I missing some step in between?

What's the error?

Please post the output of these commands:

sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/souces.list.dapper
sudo apt-cdrom add
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

Alrighty, problem solved. I was getting an error about the device not having any media in it. And as that turned out, the CD drive in my mom's machine had died. It'd spin up, but would not read any discs. I replaced the drive, and everything went fine.

Thanks for the help.
