Upgrading ubuntu from alternate CD

Altenate CD allows you to upgrade older installation without internet access.

I am currently using 9.04 and I want to upgrade to 9.10. Upgrading to Ubuntu Karmic Koala

I have downloaded alternate CD ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso. Now I have the image in the hard drive of my PC.

Mount the ISO as a drive.
sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom0

Ubuntu tells that it will start the upgrade automatically. For me it didn't happen. So I need to start from command.

gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"

Better to have an internet connection opened.

Starts upgrading ubuntu to version 9.10
