[Shabab Mustafa]

Answers:

1. Yes you can upgrade your ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu 9.04 without live internet
connection. You will need a alternate CD than the Live CD. Alternate CD is
available from Ubuntu website.

2. By upgrading to 9.04 you will not lose your installed softwares.

3. See the link to repack and backup your installed applications:
