Default How to upgrade Kubuntu 7.04 to 7.10 ??


I wish to upgrade my OS from Kubuntu 7.04 to Kubuntu 7.10. But I am in confusion which one I have to download Kubuntu 7.10 RC or Kubuntu 7.10 beta.

Is it possible to upgrade my exhisting Kubuntu 7.04 with Kubuntu 7.10 without uninstall/format the existing one or I have to do fresh installation ?
Please clear my doubt.

Step-wise in text:

1. Launch Adept Manager: KMenu -> System -> Adept Manager
2. In Adept -> Manage Repositories enable "Recommended updates" and "Pre-release", close and reload
3. Click Fetch Updates
4. Click Full Upgrade
5. Click Apply Changes and wait for the updates to install
6. Close Adept Manager
7. Press Alt+F2, or select KMenu -> Run Command to run a command.
8. Run the following command (the quotes are important):
Code:
kdesu "adept_manager --version-upgrade"
9. Click Version Upgrade
10. Follow the on-screen instructions

You have to download the Alternate CD via the Repositories of Gutsy.

But when Gutsy Kubuntu is just 3 more days away, why take the pain of downloading a Release Canditate Alternate CD ?

Yestarday I thought so and cancelled downloading. After final release on 18/10/2007 I will download the stable version. But is there will be any option to upgrade or I have to reinstall again.

Yes you do get an option to Upgrade using the Alternate Install CD and it works fine too but the recommended way (To be safe) is to re-install.

Yes there is! You need to get the Alternate CD, add it to the repositories and select Upgrade. That's what I've been telling all along now. There is an Upgrade option available definitely!

Than I have to download two file one for alternate CD (695MB) creation and other for normal distro (678 MB) CD. Which one u suggest ? both are not possible to download as I have 250 home plan. If I reinstall then I have to do a lots of job again. If I upgrade the job is less.

Oh man, Alternate CD is same as Distro CD. Distro CD has Live while Alternate CD doesn't have Live features. That's the only difference!
