Hi, I think you can download the woody Cd image in raw format. Which I had no troubles burning from regular burn software.(Windows or Linux) Try doing a google search for woody cd image.
I think your idea on how the upgrade works is pretty accurate. Someone else on the list could probably explain it better than me.
