When I got a Ubuntu machine, the
Upgrade Manager appeared with a check box, that upgraded the WHOLE
operating system to the latest version. Something I was quite
hesitant to do, once old versions of Linux use to take no prisoners,
and repartition hard drives before installing (loosing all your data). Well, once I got BIG
ASS EXTERNAL 2TB hard drive to make backups on, I got my nerve. I
checked that box, and seamlessly it was done, and it became expected by the
user. There was my fatal mistake, in trusting that check box to show
time and again, for I haven't seen it again for at least 3 version
releases.
NOW, Upgrade Manager is prompting me
for the CD for the latest version to do installs. Which is not such
a problem because I have downloaded the CD image, but the Upgrade
Manager has chosen to “Ignore” it. Meaning- DO YOUR OWN UPGRADE
BUCCEROO!
So with much fear and trembling, here
we go again! I'm trapped into upgrades I really don't want to make,
in order to own the newest and spiffiest versions of... I really
don't know why I need to upgrade, other than to keep UPGRADE MANAGER
working correctly? It's sad, but true!
