Hello,

I currently have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on my laptop to dual boot with Windows 7 64bit
I'm wish to upgrade Ubuntu to 11.04.

1] Since a lot of people have problems while upgrading, I'd like to know what is the best method to do this? Online or using a disc?

2]Can I do this using the Live disc?

3]And if not, are there any torrent links to download the installation dvd? Because I can't download 4G at one go. I'd have to do it in parts...


Thanks for looking in :)

First thing you want to do before upgrades is to back up all your valuable files.If you have separate home partition even better.You can do upgrade from 10.04>10.10 via network,but I think it is better ides t odo it with alternate CD,because if something goes wrong you always have CD to do fresh install.From 10.10 > 11.04 you have upgrade option on live CD,but I have to be honest I didn't see it when I use 11.04 disc.You can use alternate CD in this case.You will find torrent files here.
