If I had quoted the whole of Kate Stewart's release, you would have seen
she wrote:

  "To upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 Beta 2 from Ubuntu 10.10"

You were right!

Kate's instructions need extending to include this or the easier
instruction for cowboys of "do Alt-F2" then enter that command.

Before doing this, I would have to add:

  "Close the Update Manager if it is open"

The upgrade is now away for the next 50 minutes, though my impatience
has lost me the overnight, no charge, slot.

Many thanks for your help.
