Alright, I have an older sony vaio that has worked excellently dual booting hardy and windows 7. However, I want to upgrade to Lucid but I'm in a deployed location and cannot access the internet with my laptop. Everything I do has to first be downloaded to a usbstick and then transferred from there. And it's super slow. I've already downloaded unetbootin an .iso of the x386 install (normal not alternate if that is important). It took a week :(
Anyways, I do have my hard-drive partitioned so that my home folder is on a seperate partition, however, will I be able to upgrade this way without losing any data or will it try to install from scratch? I'm scared to try it because I doubt I could get everything set up the way i had it here.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks
