Asked by poppy812

Been running 9.1 and working ok,some problems but got some answers and today downloaded 10.04 to disk and run it and liked what saw so did the upgrade. It took 4 and half hours. Am running xfce and think the disk is gnome?? It seems to have a lot of extra stuff on it that liked look of it. How can I change mine to look like that. Can I run disk and upgrade from it or is that same thing I did from upgrade manager?? I seemed to have lost some stuff had but maybe got few more,seem to have more screensavers but when click on says not installed. Am I back to where I was.

If you are running XFCE and want to upgrade, you should be using Xubuntu alternate Cd and not Ubuntu. At most you can do a fresh install of Ubuntu with Gnome using the Cd that you have.
