Thanks for your upgrade report. I would be interessted in what exactly
happend. Do you have any transcript of what it wanted to remove
(obtained by other means maybe?).

That's expected behaviour. If a cd was scanned already by
synaptic/apt/aptitude there will be no popup. This is to avoid popups
everytime the ubuntu cd is inserted (e.g. when apt/synaptic asked for
it). 

A automatic cd-upgrade will not change the /etc/apt/sources.list, it
is only desinged as a cd-upgrade.

A tool build for easy full distribution upgrades (including converting
sources.list) will be discussed/speced at UBZ.

Cheers,
 Michael
