updating to edgy eft using the dvd

[MindCrusher]

Is it possible to use kubuntu dvd to update my dapper drake from home where I have no internet connection, or do I have to make a fresh install?

You should be able to add the CD/DVD as a repository by putting the disk in the drive and running (though I'm not 100% certain it works on the dvd):

sudo apt-cdrom add

More to kubicle's info:

Adding a CD-ROM to the sources.list file /1/

If you'd rather use your CD-ROM for installing packages or updating your system automatically with APT, you can put it in your sources.list. To do so, you can use the apt-cdrom program like this:

# apt-cdrom add

with the Debian CD-ROM in the drive. It will mount the CD-ROM, and if it's a valid Debian CD it will look for package information on the disk. If your CD-ROM configuration is a little unusual, you can also use the following options:

-h - program help
-d directory - CD-ROM mount point
-r - Rename a recognized CD-ROM
-m - No mounting
-f - Fast mode, don't check package files
-a - Thorough scan mode

This is from APT HOWTO (http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/ap.../index.en.html)
