Before you start
You can only directly upgrade to Ubuntu 7.10 ("Gutsy Gibbon") from Ubuntu 7.04 ("Feisty Fawn") (see UpgradeNotes).
Be sure that you have all updates applied to Ubuntu 7.04 before you upgrade (see below).
Before upgrading it is recommended that you read the release notes for Ubuntu 7.10, which document caveats and workarounds for known issues in this version.
Network upgrade for Ubuntu desktops (recommended)
You can easily upgrade over the network with the following procedure.
Open System -> Administration -> Update Manager.
Click the Check button to check for new updates.
If there are any updates to install, use the '''Install Updates''' button to install them, and press '''Check''' again after that is complete.
A message will appear informing you of the availability of the new release.
Click Upgrade.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
