I recommend the instructions at kubuntu.org:
http://kubuntu.org/announcements/6.10-release.php

They say: # In Konqueror go to /etc/apt, right click on sources.list
and choose Actions -> Edit as Root
# Change all instances of dapper to edgy
# Launch a console with KMenu -> System -> Konsole
# In the console run: sudo apt-get update
# In the console run: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and follow the prompts
to upgrade
# In the console run: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop python-qt3
python-kde3 ubuntu-minimal and follow the prompts to install
# Reboot your computer

Worked well for me.
