Hi everyone probably a stupid question but can I upgrade from gutsy to hardy using a disk rather than starting from scratch and repartitioning.

Regards

Terry

1) It is not a stupid question.

2) Yes, there is. Read this documentation (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades). It's toward the bottom.

3) BACK UP your data first before attempting this, any upgrade, or a clean install.
