Mariano, You can use one of the following links to get to a mirror close to you and download the iso: Download Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Beta here (choose the mirror closest to you): United States: <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://us.releases.ubuntu.com/releases/6.06/" target="_blank"> http://us.releases.ubuntu.com/releases/6.06/</a> Europe: <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/6.06/" target="_blank">http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/6.06/ </a> United Kingdom: <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://releases.ubuntu.com/6.06/" target="_blank">http://releases.ubuntu.com/6.06/</a> Rest of the World: <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://releases.ubuntu.com/6.06/" target="_blank">http://releases.ubuntu.com/6.06/</a> Like you said you can set up the synaptics to update from the cd you create. As far as Zimmerman said, the 'update-manager -d' does not go to iso, it just updates the system. So far I can't update mine, keeps telling me there's a problem with one of the archives. I might have to go your route. <div>On 4/20/06, Mariano Draghi <<a href="mailto:chaghi@sion.com">chaghi@sion.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi, According to the new automatic upgrade SPEC [ <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticUpgrade">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticUpgrade</a> ], it should be possible to trigger the upgrade process just by inserting the CD with the new Ubuntu release. Did this feature make it in the last update-manager release? Quoting the Use Cases of the spec: """ Fred is running Breezy. He is using a fast Internet connection. When Dapper is released, his Update Manager notices that there's a new release available and that his system will have to be rebooted. Fred accepts the upgrade at the end of his work day, goes home, and his machine is running Dapper when he comes back next morning. Jane does not have an Internet connection, but she got a new Dapper CD-ROM from Shipit. She puts the disk in her drive, and the same thing happens. Joe has also installed Breezy by CD-ROM. He does have a low-bandwidth Internet connection. When Dapper is released, his system notices and asks him whether he wants to update. He declines, because his Internet connection is too slow. After a month, he too gets a new Dapper CD-ROM and upgrades his system just like Jane did. """ As my broadband connection is not that broad, I'm particulary interested in the use cases for "Joe" or "Jane" ;). I was planning to download the ISO and make the upgrade from there. Besides, I'm planning to give a copy of Dapper to my brother, so it would be better to download the ISO once (for me to upgrade and for my brother to install it from scratch) instead of downloading ~680Mb of individual updates for me *and* a ~700Mb ISO for my brother. But every update procedure involving the new update-manager that I've read so far, deals with *downloading* the updates directly from the repositories, and not using a CD. Please, could anyone confirm if update-manager *knows* how to upgrade using a CD, and how is the upgrade process supposed to be triggered? Note: I already know that it's possible to add a CD to Synaptic and do an apt-get dist-upgrade from there, but I'm particulary interested in the upgrade using the new infraestructure, i.e., via update-manager.
