How to upgrade to Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 LTS without Internet Connection

Posted by mypapit on 24 Apr 2008 in GNU/Linux, Tips & Guides, Ubuntu/Debian

Previously I’ve published how to upgrade Ubuntu Linux operating system to the latest release using “upgdate-manager” tool. But what if the computer you are upgrading does not have internet connection ?

Upgrading to Hardy Heron without Internet Connection

1. Download and burn the alternate installation CDROM
2. Put it in your CDROM Drive and follow the instruction
3. If nothing happened, you can launch upgrade manager by typing :

   gksu “sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade”

That’s all hope you can enjoy the latest Ubuntu 8.04 LTS release !

   I tried, but it still insists in downloading some packages, even when It asked if I wanted to download new packages and clicked no

   Since I have no internet on this machine it stays there forever waiting to download them

   Same here–around file 1700 or so it started going to the internet–I had a connection, but it’s SLOW. Hoped to avoid this pain by following this method.
