hi
I was unable to resolve this but I received other posts indicating similar problems. I am not in a position to test because I reverted to a net upgrade. It is prudent I attach the other posts. Sorry I cant retest. Regards Kenny> From: <email address hidden>> To: <email address hidden>> Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2008 17:03:37 +0000> Subject: [Bug 208545] Re: re:ubuntu-8.04-beta-alternate-amd64.

I downloaded the iso. Tried to get the sytem to bring up the upgrade screen by inserting the CD. No upgrade dialog just the file manager showing the disc contents. Entered the terminal and typed the command shown in docs viz gksu "sh cdrom1/cdromupgrade" - nothing. Right clicked on cdromupgrade in the file manager could not invoke "sh cdromupgrade ". I wanted to pass this on just in case there is something wrong with it before final release. Thanks for you patience with us and you guys are great for the massive effort you put in. I also had a problem when I tried a net upgrade on 7.1. My system hung for hours during the installation with the terminal output showing "building a database". I lost everything when I finally rebooted. I am now going to wait for the final release and I was wondering if it is because I have the NVidia 171.04 driver installed.> Kenny
