I have kubuntu 7.04 on my computer. Is there any way I can upgrade to Kubuntu 7.10 without burning an ISO?

If you launch Adept: K menu > Add/Remove Programs, you'll see a notice that a new version is available, and the option to Upgrade. You can click there to start the upgrade process.
Although upgrading is usually smooth, it is always a good idea to backup your data in case something unexpected happens! Make sure you do that before upgrading so you can save yourself some headaches in case anything goes wrong. -

Be very patient when doing that upgrade. On a broadband connection it takes 45 minutes or more -- almost 1,000 files are downloaded. At times it looks like nothing is happening ... don't yield to the temptation to "check" it.

Re: Linux n00b needs help!!!
I don't know because I've never done it and it isn't related to the first question but:
If you add a gutsy 7.10 CD/DVD to the list of repository sources, couldn't you then upgrade using said CD/DVD that way, rather than waiting an ice age for it all to download?
You could order a free CD/DVD but it does take a couple of weeks or soComment
