</div>You can install Maverick, boot into text mode, update it fully, change<br>
the occurences of maverick in sources.list to natty (in vi: ":%<br>
s/maverick/natty/g"), and update your system (do an upgrade before a<br>
dist-upgrade).<br>
<br>
(You should probably report the bad CD on launchpad, although, if it's<br>
a daily cd, it might just be today's bad iso and tomorrow's will be<br>
fixed).<br></blockquote><div><br>The recommended version upgrade method is to use update-manager, a simple 'sudo update-manager -d' should suffice, the -d is for devel. If that does not work follow the instructions here, just don't forget the -d:<br>
