Upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid from Desktop CD?

[grn]

I do not have a fast connection and I want to retain my existing apps and settings.

I have requested for a CD to be delivered. But Ubuntu ships only Desktop CDs. Alternate CDs cannot be requested (or if they can be, does any one know how?)

Does anyone have an idea if the Desktop CD can be used to upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid Ibex?

No. Unless you want do do a clean install.

How does one request for an Alternate Install CD?
I am willing to pay a price.
My location is Mumbai, India.
