As far as I know, you can only do a dist-upgrade from the alternate install disk. If you are using the alternate install disk, you may still be prompted to download files, because the disk only has updates for the programs that come with the regular install, not for the programs that you installed by yourself.
<br><br>Please take a look at this site for instructions on how to update via the CD (scroll to the bottom):<br><a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading">http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading</a><br><br><div>
