Hello All,

I recently got a Dell Netbook Mini10v with Ubuntu 8.04 preinstalled. It does not give the option to upgrade using the normal features in the GUI (as far as I can tell) how should I go about upgrading my system to 9.10?

Thanks,
Fitzy

In order to get to 9.10 you need to upgrade to 8.10, 9.04, and 9.10. Probably best to download, burn and do a fresh install of 9.10. You could also wait about a month and upgrade directly to 10.04.

You could also Press Alt+F2 and enter:


update-manager -d

I would wait till Lucid Lynx 10.04 is out, then you can upgrade to it directly from Hardy Heron. It will be out in about 5 weeks.
