Careful with instructions such as this. Your brief upgrade guide breaks under multiple circumstances. 1) If he's running 8.04 (which I believe he is) then it will be an unsupported upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04 2) If he download and burns the Live desktop CD then this option is not provided, only the alternate CD can be used to upgrade in-place 3) It doesn't detail gotchas that certainly will be there in the upgrade. Therefore I'd always recommend pointing people to the official upgrade guide so they can make an educated decision about how and whether to upgrade. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading is usually a good place to start, and it'll be update when 9.04 releases.
