if i update in the update manager will it give me the new features in cassandra

you would have to update the apt sources manually as well, it is not just a one button click upgrade.

see:

this shows you the general complexity of the upgrade.

a fresh install is always best.

I think it is not possible to upgrade from Bea to Cassandra, I'm convinced I've read something from Clem to that effect

i have tried to install cassandra from the disk but it never boots the live cd

the same happens in 7.04 ubuntu

where did it stop?

what are your system specs?

have you tried the second safe video option?

It's possible but very tedious... you need to upgrade from Bea to Bianca first... and then from Bianca to Cassandra:

My advice:

- backup your data
- do a fresh install of Cassandra and make sure you give /home its own partition so you can do fresh install in the future without loosing your prefs/data.
