Installer Problems

[paragonconcept]

Trying to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04. I dropped the cd in - select english - select install. It loads some info, and then drops me into a command line saying: ubuntu@ubuntu

What now? I thought it was a GUI installer....

You don't have too do that. Boot into 8.10 normally then fire up Update manager. Click on "Settings" then make sure under "Release upgrade", "normal releases" is chosen. Then (and you must be connected to internet) press "Check" in update manager. Then some thing like "New distribution upgrade..." should show up.
at this point you should decide whether you want to download the new stuff or just get them from the CD you have. In the first case, just click upgrade. In the second case, put your CD in and click on "Settings" again and under "Ubuntu software" you should be able to add the CDrom.
