Hi,
I would like to upgrade my Ubuntu 8.10 installation to Ubuntu 9.04 but at the moment my computer cannot connect to the internet. I understand that one can use the alternate CD to do this when there is no internet connection but I am put off by the fact that the release notes say that it (apparently, unless I have misunderstood it) does not install the Gnome desktop.
Is this really the case and if so, is there any way around it? Also when clicking on "Download" I am not presented with a choice of whether to download the desktop .iso or the alternate CD .iso
I could take the computer to a friend's house and use his internet connection but the must be a way of upgrading without carting the computer around.
Any help would be appreciated
Chris
