Hello and thanks for your responses.
@ Jean-Baptiste Lallement:
It didn't work. However we now possibly have a different error.
/var/log/dist-upgrade# grep -i error *
main.log:2008-12-09 12:14:14,645 DEBUG svg pixbuf loader failed (Error

Some relevant lines from main.log:

Some historical context that may be useful. This was a clean Ubuntu 8.04
install and the kubuntu-desktop part was later added via the Internet.
Now, I'm trying to offline upgrade using the
kubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso (from the HD itself mounted using the
loopback option)
The logs are attached.
@ JonCharge:
I'm not sure what you mean. Are you asking about the hard disk partitions? If
so, here is the relevant output of df -h:
FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg1-root 12G 5.2G 6.2G 46% /
/mnt/vbox/down/kubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso
696M 696M 0 100% /media/cdrom0
Anything else?
