Upgrade Instructions for Ubuntu 9.10

[nadamsieee]

The System76 Karmic instructions refer to a "Third Party Software" tab. The tab is labeled "Other Software" on my machine (post Karmic upgrade).

Also, the instructions refer to a 2.3.9 driver, but there is now a 2.4.0 driver available in the repository.

The System76 Karmic upgrade instructions should probably prefer that the user simply click System -> Administration -> Update Manager after they configure their Software Sources. Manually downloading and installing the driver should only be done as a last resort.

Good point. Thanks.

Could you please file a bug on that one at launchpad.net/system76 and i'll make sure it gets fixed.

ATTEN STARLING OWNERS:

We've sent our R&D guy to the Ubuntu Developers Summit, and he will be talking with some developers about getting the Starling's wireless driver permanently fixed and integrated into the kernel.

I just upgraded to 9.10. Flawless. This is a really slick distro.

After installing the latest System76 driver, running the restore and doing a reboot this is the only new addition to the software sources:

I don't see the other source that shown in the Karmic upgrade wiki. Is that correct?

You may need to enable the various repositories on the Ubuntu Software and the Updates tabs. (I probably would not enable backports and proposed.)
