Before I start, don't get me wrong but I think Kubuntu is excellent and a potential MS Windows Killer. However my upgrading experience has left me dissapointed and I've not even started using Dapper!
Problem: I want to upgrade from 5.10 to 6.06 so I download both CD ISO images and burn to CDs. From what I read the Alternate CD is the one I apparently need so I follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades. They seem straight forward enough except they don't work.
Reading http://www.kubuntu.org/announcements...ts-release.php it says that "If you have a Kubuntu 6.06 CD" well two different types are issued so which one to use?
I've now stuffed my system because the upgrade instructions on the net conflict as to what needs to be done and at best are unclear.
If Kubuntu (and Ubuntu) are really to become mainstream products and a Microsoft killer OS then someone needs to write clear and concise authorative instructions for upgrading from a CD. In the meantime, I've not trashed one PC and am installing afresh from the Desktop CD as the system failed to boot after trying the upgrade. >
I have another PC whcih has no internet connection other than a 56K dial-up to try the upgrade again. Would someone be kind enough to point me to a set of instructions which clearly state which CD I should use and how to go about doing the upgrade without trashing a perfectely working system?
