Install 8.04 over a previous 7.10

[Carlos Alberto Alves]

Hint from this list...
Upgrading using the alternate CD/DVD

Use this method if the system being upgraded is not connected to the 
Internet.

    1. Download and burn the alternate installation CD.
    2. Insert it into your CD-ROM drive.
    3. A dialog will be displayed offering you the opportunity to 
upgrade using that CD.
    4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

If the upgrade dialog is not displayed for any reason, you may also run 
the following command using Alt+F2:

gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"

Or in Kubuntu run the following command using Alt+F2:

kdesu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"
