You do not need the flight 7 cd to upgrade, the only thing you need to
do is start a terminal and type the following commands:


Code:
--------------------
    sudo apt-get update

  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
--------------------


If you do that you will get the latest versions of all files (including
those that are newer than the ones on the cd). Another way is to allow
the update-manager to install all available updates, but I'm not sure
if that would update configuration files.

I think the only reason for getting the latest cd is if you want to do
a fresh install...
