think this may work....firstly make sure your system is up to date

sudo apt-get updatethen place your cd in tray

goto >system>administration>software sources....hopefully the cd shows up here and tick it

then run the sudo apt-get update again , if my memory serves me right you should be able to upgrade from here,while keeping all your settings intact


you can also update from >system>administration>updatemanager

I suggest you to reconsider upgrading to Intrepid. Hardy is a LTS which is a much stable version. The other versions may have more features but is most likely to have more bugs. 8.04.2 is coming out in Jan.

You might wanna try out Intrepid first in virtualization using virtualbox etc before the final upgrade.


Good luck!!!
