has there ever been any talk of being able to upgrade via live CD/DVD ??? I am just curious if that would may e be a little less buggy than the update manager.

How to upgrade F14? 37 weeks 3 days ago

Hi,

I am running F14 with KDE or gnome in VMWare Player on WinXP and want to do 2 things: a) increase the hard disk size for Fedora without losing my installed system. b) add the XCFE window manager.

Up to now a) I increased the hard disk size from 20GB to 25 GB in the VMWare settings.

I am wishing to upgrade to 12.04.1, but my package manager does not list an upgrade as available. I have tried running $sudo apt-get update and $sudo apt-get upgrade without any luck.

Anyone know what I need to do to upgrade to 12.04.1?
