Having made the mistake of upgrading my backend to karmic koala and in the process breaking mythtv. It is version 22 in Karmic which is icompatible with the front end I had on my myth frontend (0.21).
That left me with two options. 1) downgrade the backend (ugly) or 2) try to upgrade the frontend. Luckily I had a spare harddisk so I could do 2 without destroying my earlier install.
I went ahead and downloaded on a PC the Karmic live CD desktop version as an iso and installed it on an USB stick using the windows uunetid utility.
Unlike my experience with Hardy Heron, the live CD booted from the USB stick worked and the install program from the live CD also worked well -- altho the first time it bombed during the upgrade of the apt repositiories which I suspect was due to a faulty ethernet cable. The second time I ran it I did not have this problem.
Also of note the install program appears to be at least minimally destructive so it could be done on top of an earlier install.
