upgrade k10.10 to k12.04 from live cd

[ray burke]

Thanks for all the advise,
as it looks like I will have to do a clean install of which I have
already apptempted, but have
found some issues in doing so, it is now sitting in 80gb which is what I wanted.
the problem is with my dialup kppp when I run it it comes back with a
window saying-

"sorry plasma desktop shell"
KDElnit could not launch 'kppp':
could not find 'kppp' executable

under gnome ppp canot open /dev/ttyso: permission denied?
and can I use in a terminal 'dmesg' to see if the modem is connected?

also how do I get grub to start as there is no /grub/menulst?
