<div dir="ltr">Serhiy is right, when you put in a Ubuntu Alternate CD it automatically asks for a upgrade, but the same thing with a kubuntu alternate CD is not implemented. <div>
<div>There are actually instructions for the alternate CD upgrade dialog on the Ubuntu Wiki : <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades#Upgrading+Using+the+Alternate+CD/DVD" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades#Upgrading Using the Alternate CD/DVD</a></div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades#Upgrading+Using+the+Alternate+CD/DVD" target="_blank"></a>This should really be fixed for 10.10 </div><div><br></div><div>
