Ok, thanks. I've just tried that path (using 5.04 CD to upgrade a 4.10
installation). Here is whats happened to me:
1- Put the CD when Ubuntu was running. The folder with the CD pop up,
but I didn't see any "install" or anything that could give me a clue
of how to proceed. So I gave up and tried to boot from 5.04 CD, that
is what I call try 2.
2- Booted from brand new 5.04 CD. I only saw the standart installation
screen. Almost the same one I saw some month ago when I installed
4.10. I keep on choosing options in the menu (language, keyboard, and
so on), until I reach the Partition manager menu, it offered to wipe
the whole disk or manually edit partition table. I JUST WANTED TO
UPDATE IT, WHY IT ASK ME ABOUT MESSING WITH PARTITIONS AT ALL? (sorry
for the uppercase!!).  At that point I reseted the computer, ejected
the CD and booted from old 4.10 Ubuntu just to post this.
Is in the wiki or somewhere else a written procedure to update Ubuntu
using CD? All reports I read uses the network, I think a written
procedure to do it using the CD will be usefull for Ubuntu servers
(and for poor people like me with slow network access). I don't need a
step by step guide, I can follow menus by myself, but I didn't see
anything (not even a readme file :(
