I downloaded the Ubuntu 12.10 desktop iso using bittorrent (because it's faster) here.

I mounted the iso this way:

sudo mount -o loop ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso /media/cdrom

Then I'm stuck because there isn't an alternate install with a cdromupgrade script this time and I'm not really sure how to use apt-cdrom either.

Is there any way to use this image to upgrade my current installation w

Canonical dropped support to the alternate ISO's and they are not listed in the downloads page, how can I do a CD ROM upgrade now ?

I've got an alternate install which I have customized to my needs. But before distributing I want to change certain settings like default desktop background, system theme etc. I know I could've done this using squashfs had it been a live CD. But I have no idea how to do it on alternate installer.

Is it possible to achieve what I am trying to do. I am sure it is but I don't know how.

I have an alternate kernel config, which is not the default Ubuntu config. How to use the alternate configuration ?

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo do-release-upgrade

Is there some way to complete this?

I am a bit wary of rebooting it now..

tried mounting the alternative iso

sudo mount -o loop /home/mari

How to Install Lubuntu on pc 1 year 14 weeks ago

I am having problem with the installation of Lubuntu 11.10 .

I came across this term Alternate CD. How it different from a Live CD? Also why cant we upgrade using a live cd while we can using an alternate one as mentioned here. The link does not specify anything about the live cd.

Cdrom is mounted, but where? 29 weeks 20 hours ago

A Nautilus folder will be opened automatically when inserting a CD in a drive. It is under Devices with name Audiodisk. As long as the files are accessed via Nautilus everything is fine.

The problem is that I can not find the cdrom files from the File System.

I found the package is marked as not recommend to use in production environment. So what's the alternate solution?
