I have a wubi install....

when natty comes out, what is the upgrade procedure? i guess what i am asking is, can i upgrade through update manager or does the fact that i have a wubi install make that process more complicated?

thanks.

It may be better to back up your files from your current Wubi installation And do a fresh Wubi installation.

Wubi for 11.04 will only be available from the ISO when it first comes out. Some people have upgraded Wubi installations , but it does not end nicely for many .

A clean installation is better than trying to repair a broken installation , at least for me.

Read the Natty release notes when it comes out. It will probably say whether Wubi is supported.

Likely your problems will boil down to the standard Wubi problems when you update grub. See the Wubi Megathread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1639198) for details on what these are.
