Thanks for your bugreport.

The use-case with non-networked machines is something we do not document
that well currently. Here is what you can do:

1. Ensure that the sources.list of the machines point only to the
internal mirror (do not mix deb http://archive.ubuntu.com and deb http
://internal-mirror lines). The reason for this is that update-manager
will not the be able to distinguish between 3rd party sources and
inofficial mirrors.

2. Use the alternative CD (or DVD) to initiate the upgrade. "sudo sh
/cdrom/cdromupgrade" should be fine. It then will tell you that it can
not find a offical mirror in your sources.list and should offer you to
simply rewrite all gutsy to hardy entries. Say yes here and it should
work.

You can use the same mechanism for dapper->hardy upgrades. Please let me
know if you see issues with it.
