If you don't have broadband or have a mchine that is not connected to the internet you're supposed to follow this: "Use this method if the system being upgraded is not connected to the Internet. Download and burn the alternate installation CD. Insert it into your CD-ROM drive. A dialog will be displayed offering you the opportunity to upgrade using that CD. Follow the on-screen instructions." How good is that? Download if you're not connected to the internet? Plenty of Install CDs available for free or a noiminal fee but these will replace rather than upgrade your current installation. I haven't been able to find a single source for the so-called "Alternate". Can anyone tell me where I can buy one from?

Upon re-start, the machine locks up and I get a black screen. I have a feeling that I am not the lone ranger here. Any advise?
