You can do the normal upgrade using the DVD (Adding it and clicking Upgrade in your Software Updates applet). But VLC, etc (Non-main-components) won't be updated via the DVD, you have to be connected online for that to happen.

i m saying that all aplications and packages like vlc are already updated...

what i m asking is that after upgrading these will remain intact or not.....

reply guys

Well they are upgraded with 'feisty' labelling. In case Gutsy has different versions they'd need to be updated as well. But yes, everything will remain intact. The only thing known to temporarily fail would be the graphic drivers like nvidia and stuff.
