Best.

Better with a 8GB memory stick, otherwise you will need a dual layer DVD as the installer is 5GB+

Why do you want to create an install DVD? If all you need to do is upgrade, just run the installer.

Link is updated. Try the instructions, use a memory stick.

Fair enough. I do second (third?) the recommendation of using a Flash drive - much faster to create and boot from, less susceptible to errors, and you can always wipe it once you're done.

You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program.
