At home in Assagay (Durban), KZN, I have:

  1. a desktop running Vista as prime OS, with Gutsy as an alternate load; and
  2. a laptop running Gutsy as prime OS, from which I can load Windows XP using VirtualBox.

I recently downloaded all 700mb of the LiveCD version (not the alternate CD version!) of Hardy Heron on my 2GB ADSL connection -without first checking out these forums!.

Is there any way in which I can update my existing Gutsy versions (offline from the Internet) from the LiveCD version of 8.04 without downloading the alternate CD?

From a user eager to do the upgrade...

i'm affraid that there is no way you could do it. Although i tried every thing, i still have to fresh install hardy.
