Hi,
I am running 12.10. I've been searching the Internet for a way to offline upgrade to 13.04 from the iso file to no avail. I think that this is impossible because the alternate CD doesn't exist.

If you know of a method, please tell me.

Thank you.

Hi,
I already have the 13.04 iso file on my hard disk. Before 12.10, I just needed to mount the iso file and issued 'apt-cdrom add' and upgraded Ubuntu. Now that Ubuntu has got fatter, it doesn't fit on a regular CD any more.


Thank you anyway.

P.S
I still love Ubuntu and will find other methods to try/install 13.04 without burning a CD. But I don't know why a man like Shuttleworth would be becoming more and more stupid: First we got the oversized iso, then came the MIR server. Don't know when the bell would be tolled for Ubuntu.
