When I use the instruction "If the upgrade dialog is not displayed for 
any reason, you may also run the following command using Alt+F2: " I get 
the kdesu dialog but then nothing happens. If I run the sam command from 
a terminal I get this...

[: 23: 7.10: unexpected operator

Could not find the upgrade application in the archive, exiting

tar: /media/Kubuntu: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

tar: Child returned status 2
tar: 7.10: Not found in archive
tar: i386/dists/stable/main/dist-upgrader/binary-all//gutsy.tar.gz: Not

When I insert the CD, it is auto-mounted at /media/Kubuntu 7.10 i386. I 
think the spaces in the mount point are causing the problem. I'll try 
and mount the cd at /media/cdrom. I'll post the results.

Thanks,
Rick
