Upgrading with update-manager using the CD

[kareem shabazz]

Mariano,
You can use one of the following links to get to a mirror close to you and
download the iso:

Download Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Beta here (choose the mirror closest to you):

 United States:
   http://us.releases.ubuntu.com/releases/6.06/

 Europe:
   http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/6.06/

 United Kingdom:
   http://releases.ubuntu.com/6.06/

 Rest of the World:
   http://releases.ubuntu.com/6.06/

Like you said you can set up the synaptics to update from the cd you create.
As far as Zimmerman said, the 'update-manager -d' does not go to iso, it
just updates the system. So far I can't update mine, keeps telling me
there's a problem with one of the archives. I might have to go your route.
