Hi, I was wondering how to upgrade from 6.10 of Xubuntu to 8.10 without having to boot from a CD. I have the CD Burned already.
I have already been to this page (http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading) and the network install looks promising, but I do not have a "Software Sources" option in my Applications menu, and looking around in Package Manager didn't help.
The reason I want to not have to boot the installer from the CD is because when I deleted 6.10 from my HDD and installed 8.10, my wireless adapter wouldn't connect to any wireless connection (even though it worked fine in 6.10). I'm hoping that if I install Xubuntu without having to use the installer that it will keep some of my 6.10 settings, including my working wireless settings.
Thanks,
~Derek
