Hello

Unfortunately it is not possible to upgrade using a live CD only thing you can do with a live cd is install the new ubuntu version by erasing the existing ubuntu installation

But its possible to upgrade via an alternate CD

Insert it into your CD-ROM drive

A dialog will be displayed offering you the opportunity to upgrade using that CD

Follow the on-screen instructions

If the upgrade dialog is not displayed for any reason, you may also run the following command using Alt+F2:

gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"

For any CD requests please contact your local community guys
