I'm trying to upgrade from Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 using a CD. The Ubuntu website says this:
1. Download the alternate installation CD
2. Burn the ISO to a CD and insert it into the CD-ROM drive of the computer to be upgraded.
If the ISO file is on the computer to be upgraded, you could avoid wasting a CD by mounting the ISO as a drive with a command like:
sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom0
3. A dialog will be displayed offering you the opportunity to upgrade using that CD.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
If the upgrade dialog is not displayed for any reason, you may also run the following command using Alt+F2:
gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"
I have the cd burnt and I put it in, the dialog did not pop up. I typed in the command, it asked for my password and nothing happened.
Also there's no "cdromupgrade" folder on the disk for some reason.
Can anyone help?
