Upgrade existing Kubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) to Kubuntu 7.10(GutsyGibbon) in one step

[Ben Tompkins (Home)]

Eric,
	Just to let you know, I finally got my Kubuntu up to Gutsy Gibbon
v7.10 via 6.4 and 7.04 from Dapper Drake 6.06 via Broadband (not discs).
Your advice was much appreciated for someone as fresh to Linux as I am.

Regards Ben Tompkins.

Hi Ben,

Do you have 6.06 installed? If so, you don't need an .iso for the 
upgrade, especially if you have a high speed internet connection. 
Following the instructions on the link I sent will result in your 
downloading and installing what you need for the upgrade.

As I mentioned, I upgraded yesterday from 6.06 to 6.4 to 7.04. I didn't 
use an .iso or a disc. During one of the upgrades (and I don't remember 
which one) I was asked if I had a disc for the upgrade that could be 
used instead of downloading the files. I didn't have one so I said no 
and it did the upgrade anyway.
