Hello Paul:
You said in your response to my question,
* 3) You burnt the CD as one large file rather than as an ISO. Quite a *common *error if you used a Windows box. *
It turns out that in fact that's exactly what I did. I copied the data to the CD as one large file. I wasn't aware that an ISO file is the equivalent of a zip file under Windows! Thanks for setting me straight with that.
No, its not like a zip file. An .iso file is the exact image of the disks data, literally from Logical Sector Number 0 to the end of the disk. All file system structure is just more data in such a file.
I managed to recopy the CD and I was successful with the 4.50 upgrade.
Good.
I experimented with trying to get Synaptic to update my BDI installation over the internet rather than burning a CD but wasn't successful in doing so. Is there any reason why I wouldn't be able to take that approach in the future?
That is Paul Corner's question to answer I believe.
Thanks for the help,
Craig
