Updating to Ubuntu 7.04
I've decided to update my Edgy Eft, Ubuntu 6.10, to the development version of Ubuntu, the Feisty Fawn, that's going to become Ubuntu 7.04.
- Step 1: tiagoboldt@Niath:~$ sudo update-manager -d
- I've just issued the command, update manager has looked and found the development version, update is automatic and 976 packages are currently being downloaded.
- Step 2: Unpacking and installing EVERYTHING automatically! Probably it will take a long time! It says about 23 minutes, fingers crossed, no errors must appear, like appeared from 6.04 to 6.10.
- Step 3: Rebooting, after a long wait of updates and a quick reboot, everything seems now to be properly working. Some programs will probably crash sometimes, but this is still the development version. But everything seems to be smooth.
Update:
Answering to Mike's comment, yes, there is a way to install through Feisty Alternate Install CD (not the Desktop CD), for this, just insert the cd, open a terminal and type:
Some updates might still be needed, but, anyway, it will be just a small part of it.gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"
Job done :)

Hi, is there a way to upgrade from CD? I'd prefer to burn it to one CD, and upgrade multiple machines that I have.
Thank you for responding to Mike! I was looking everywhere for a way to update without having an internet connection.
