Update from 7.10 to 8.04 with Disc instead of download.

[mae]

Hi All,

I live in Sunny South Africa and we are capped on bandwidth, thus I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 with the disc I have received via mail without "losing" / "formatting" all my goodies already in 7.10?

The upgrade / update via the update manger would use up 1,7Gb of my 2Gb CAP = not good for me for the rest of the month.

If this is the wrong place to post sorry.

HI !

Do you have alternate CD ?

HardyUpgrades/Kubuntu tells:

To Upgrade from Kubuntu 7.10 to Kubuntu 8.04 using an 8.04 alternate CD start with:

1) Insert the alternate CD, open it in a new window,...

Hi Rog 131,

Thanks for the help.

I tried as described but when I run kdesu "/cdrom/cdromupgrade", I get an "Command not found!" error.

Any help?? Anyone??

I tried all sort of things an still can not get update to run from Alternate CD??

Still "Command not found"

My Acer Laptop requires a BIOS password to boot from CD and I can not find any way to change this.
