I imagined that was the case as there is a finite amount of space for applications on the CD. Plus if your like me and install lots of PPA's for applications all those need to either be disabled or changed to Natty versions.

When the upgrade is done, you have to go through the hustle of reinstalling software that is not on the cd or basic installation. That implies development environments, tweaks and packages of all kinds have to be reinstalled to get the system to what you want it to be. So be it an upgrade or a clean install, you have to install certain packages afresh. Regards, BM.
