Updated my laptop last night from 9.04 to 9.10, could not have been easier
or simpler, clicked on
Upgrade on the update notifier, and of it went. Took 6 hours on my satellite
connection , but
all went very smoothly, am impressed. My Cdrom ceased to exist on  Win XP
when I
partitioned the hard drive to install Ubuntu 9.04, and had hoped that 9.10
may have cured this problem,
still the same,  but am very happy with 9.10, can now have a play with it.
