Will the 9.04 installer upgrade my current install or is it a "start from scratch" job?

I can't find a definitive answer in the FAQ's etc.

I know it sounds like a noob question - but f*** it. I've been a noob for over 25 years and every day I realise just HOW much more there is to learn! lol

Sure if you open Update Manager and the button is up there it should be no problem.

Not true.

You can only jump from one release to the next or from one LTS to the next LTS.

What do you mean by installer ?

You probably will need to do the upgrade in two stages,first to 8.10, then to 9.04 or clean install with 9.04 disk.
