Good time of the day to everyone

I have slow internet connection at my home (suburb house, live on 3g) therefore to me: It is a good feature in synaptic package manager to generate a script to download the required software.
BUT is there any way to generate the script to download the UPGRADE (from one version of ubuntu to another one) and then to install the downloaded packages at my home ubuntu?

Thanks in advance

Yup! we have a solution .

get an ISO of 11.10 from www.ubuntu.com

burn it and then boot from it . before selecting the partition step there will be selection with four options and in that 2nd one will be upgrade option , by selecting it you can do upgrade.

so you said you will get from out side so get the ISO & this the best , simple and safe way .

all the best man and enjoy the Ubuntu.

Thanks in reply, Raja

I hope it is possible to boot from flash, I do not have cd at my netbook :-)
I will give a try.

Hi, Raja

I made a bootable flash and successfully reaches the desired menu with four items:


install 11.10 along with 11.04 (this is my current version)
upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10
erase 11.04 and install 11.10
something else (partitioning)

the problem is that the second option was disabled. I was not able to select it neither by mouse no by keyboard
Any suggestions why it could have been thus?

Thanks in advance.
