    If you have a fast Internet connection, you can download boot.iso, burn it
    to a CD, and then kick off an HTTP install by booting off that.

    Without a fast 'net connection, you can download all the ISOs, and do an
    upgrade from them. That will save you from the repartitioning and
    recreating bit.

    Best,
