Can I updgrade through CD\dvd image?

Using Kubuntu/Edgy on AMD64.
Doing automatic update, but this is going veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery slow, is it possible to just d/l the ISO and upgrade through ISO?

Upgrading to Ubuntu 7.04
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading

This document provides instructions and notes on upgrading to Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn), released on the 19th of April 2007.

Upgrading using the alternate CD/DVD

Use this method if the system being upgraded is not connected to the Internet.

1.

Download and burn the alternate installation CD
2.

Insert it into your CD-ROM drive
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"

Note that for Kubuntu the upgrade dialogue will not be displayed and you will need to install gksu before running the above command (it will not work with kdesu).

Try adding a space in between "sh" and "/cdrom/cdromupgrade" so it looks like this:

gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"

Hope that helps!
