Upgrading Ubuntu to 10.04 beta

[kooia]

Hi everyone,

I'm interested in upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 beta. How do I do this?

Do I put it on a bootable disk, and then boot from the disk?

If there's problems, what do I do? Do I contact Ubuntu, or what?

Most importantly, do I lose all my files?

Thanks everyone!

1. Backup all your files/data that you want to keep
2. Download/Burn beta iso (if you haven't already done so)
3. Install from disk
4. Enjoy!

That's not really an upgrade, that's a reinstall.

Either way, back up your files.

You can do it over the net with "gksudo update-manager -d"

or

You can download the alternate install CD and upgrade from that.

Do you research first so that you don't run into issues.

Please post your beta-related questions to the correct forum: Development & Programming, Lucid Lynx Testing.

I will be asking the Mods to move this thread there. Look there for any responses.

Works for me. ;)
