Hi, I'm trying to update Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.10. This is greatly complicated by the fact that I live in the middle of nowhere and the only internet connection available here is dial-up that drops offline ever few hours. I can't download the disc image at home, I have to arrange to visit one of a few places about 45 minutes away where I can sometimes use a broadband connection to download the file.
I've downloaded the .iso and burned it over to disc. (It looks more or less like the screenshot in your wiki (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD).) But it doesn't seem to want to do anything. I'm using the instructions from somewhere in the wiki, the ones that say to use the alt-f2 to type in gk... something... and assume it'll update. It asks me for my password, then nothing happens. Did I not get the burn right? Am I going to have to go download it again?
Thanks for any help you can give me, Llama
