Re: [Nolug] upgrade from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10

It was only about 700MB from the Ubuntu website. Not sure where you had
downloaded it from. The main download page for Ubuntu only links to the CD
iso. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download if you click
Alternative Downloads then you have the option of a DVD further down the
page, but the default appears to be a CD.
