Not that I'm aware of; I suppose that you could write a script to do
this, but I'm not sure how you'd handle the questions when they pop up
as you wouldn't know what they could be. You know that you can do an
offline upgrade with an altCD. Much faster than waiting for all the
updates to download.

Note/caution: the last time I tried this with an lucid alpha altCD it
wasn't working, but suspect that it's probably been fixed by now. In
karmic & earlier you just unplugged the machine from the
ethernet/wireless, put in the altCD & select whatever the option is to
upgrade directly from the CD w/o networking. I've got a machine that I
can test this on this weekend if you'd like to wait. Either way, after
the upgrade you're still going to need to download a buttload of updates
anyway, so my recommendation would be to wait for some time after the
final release (usually 10-20 days) to do this, particularly if this is
your only machine.
