[Staffslug] Here's one for ya (Possibly Kevan?)

Hi All OK so I've come by a Fujitsu Amelo D-7830 P4 3GB every distro I tried refused to install even Live CD's seem to just sit there. There is nothing wrong with the ROM drive to be fair I think its a BIOS issue (Gonna flash it tonight) Anyway I finally managed to get Mepis installed on it by pretending it was an old machine from the "Install Choices" section the installation is now fully updated. I'd like to get the latest Ubuntu/Kubuntu on it but this looks like it can only be acheived via the Internet can I do the -dist-upgrade trick like you can do with Hoary--->Dapper? My plan is to edit the sources.list and give the Ubuntu 6.10 repos 1. Will this work? 2. Will it replace Mepis with Ubuntu? -- Dick Turpin "Stand and deliver!"
