Upgrading to 9.10

[Chris-buntu]

Is there a way to update my 9.04 to the 9.10 without having to install it by CD?
In other words, updating 9.04 into 9.10 using the terminal?

Thanks for the help!

What? He can do Alt+F2 and type update-manager -d.

It will then ask him to upgrade to 9.10.......

Uh yeah ya can. Taken directly from: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha4


Upgrading from Ubuntu 9.04


To upgrade from Ubuntu 9.04 on a desktop system, press Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager -d" (without the quotes) into the command box. Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release '9.10' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.

You could have tried all they way in May, when the first Alpha was released. Alpha 4 was released a few days ago.

-d for update-manager is the key -d = development versions. This has long been available.
