My CD drive is broken and i am still on 9.4 and i want to update or clean install straight to 10.10. I do not care how I upgrade as long as i do not havew to use a CD drive or install the previous updates. I would also like to know if i can use a USB drive to install desktop edition? Thank You.

10.10 updates usb-drive 9.04 cd-drive

    You can upgrade and install Ubuntu by using a USB stick. Do note that you cannot upgrade from 9.04 to 10.10 directly, you can move from 9.04 to 9.10 to 10.04 to 10.10 though.

    That can take a long time so you'll probably save a bunch of time by backing up your data and reinstalling.
