Super OS Upgrades

Methods to upgrade to Super OS

Notes

1. Internet access is required for all upgrades/updates, except the ones using the Super OS Service Pack/Super OS upgrade pack
2. It is always a usually better to do fresh install (format) instead of upgrading from a major version to another, since upgrades sometimes break applications or other functionality.

Upgrading from Ubuntu 8.10 (or Super Ubuntu) or older versions of both

• You first have to upgrade to Ubuntu 9.04 (see: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading ), and then upgrade from Ubuntu 9.04 to Super OS (see bellow).

Upgrading from Ubuntu 9.04 (manual way)

• Install the Super OS 9.04 repository
• Check for updates (type sudo apt-get update on the terminal)
• Install the package super-os (using Synaptic or the terminal: sudo apt-get install super-os )
• Done!

Upgrading from Ubuntu 9.04 (easy way)

• Install the Super OS 9.04 Service Pack
