[Bug 1066661] Re: downloaded disk will not auto-run on startup.

[Jan Van Hess]

Upgrade manager stops at 29  of the 46 updates needed to upgrade, saying the
"the repository might no longer be available or could not be contacted due
to "network problems" .   Given that 29 do come quickly, the network seems
fine on my end.  
    I have tried several times at various days, at different times, and it
always stops at 29 of 46 packages.
    It appears I am stuck with 6.6 unless I can do a fresh install, but it
will not allow that.
I still have the 6.6 install disk, would that be useful in this process ? 
Is Ubuntu 12 not available as a self installing program executable  in Linix
?

Title:
  downloaded disk will not auto-run on startup.

Status in “installation-guide” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have Ubuntu 6.6 on an old hp machine, formerly a win2000 machine.
    No matter the boot sequence settings for start-up, only 6.6 runs.  The Downloaded install disk will not initiate installation.

  Apparently 6.6 is too old to update, or allow the new version to take
  over.

  What do I do ?  I am not proficient enough to manually install via the
  boot sector.  I cannot even find gparted.
