I have downloaded Edubuntu 11.10 ISO and Created a DVD with it, but I already have a PC with Ubuntu 11.10 Running. How can I install Edubuntu from DVD?

My Ubuntu does not have an Internet connection. so I need to try to install it via the DVD.

Boot into your Ubuntu OS normally, then insert the DVD into the drive. Then add the DVD to your software center's "sources" list - it should be listed at the bottom and you just need to hit the checkbox to enable it:

The final step would be to refresh the list of available packages, and install the Edubuntu-desktop package.

Which DVD do you have ? You need the "alternate" DVD (not the live or desktop DVD). I am not sure if any of the other DVD have the packages to upgrade.

Alternate install CD

The alternate install CD allows you to perform certain specialist installations of Ubuntu. It provides for the following situations:

  • setting up automated deployments;
  • upgrading from older installations without network access;
  • LVM and/or RAID partitioning;
  • installs on systems with less than about 384MiB of RAM (although note that low-memory systems may not be able to run a full desktop environment reasonably).

Load the DVD in the drive and reboot. If the doesn't boot to your DVD but instead loads your normal Ubuntu desktop, then check the boot order settings in your BIOS to ensure that the DVD drive is set to boot before the HDD (hard disk drive).
