[Ubuntu-PH] CD dist upgrade

[Re Alvarez]

this will happen when your CD's packages are already outdated. The best
option is to go with the download.
but if you dont want that then you can un-check the online repositories
in synaptics, then do a 'sudo apt-get update' and the 'sudo apt-get
upgrade', this way you'll only upgrade packeges in the CD. but this has
its own problems, some of your applications may break and then you'll be
forced to upgrade to latest packages in the repo... but its worth trying
if you dont want to download.

Hi guys,
I have a question: I have a feisty fawn machine which I want to upgrade
to a gutsy one. I prefer not to wait for a 2GB+ download just to do the
update, though my Internet connection is fairly fast.
I want to upgrade my feisty into a gutsy using a gutsy CD I have. Though
the CD is already in my sources.lst, is that enough assurance that my
system won't download the 2GB+ of software? Because when I run the
upgrade program, the program tells me that I'll need to download 2GB+ of
software still, etc etc.
Shouldn't it be less than 2GB already since I have a CD of gutsy?

Thanks in advance.
