Normally I would agree with the previous opinion if that is possible. I do however understand that for various reasons sometimes it is not a viable option and sometimes liveupgrade just isn't what you want to do, so there is a third way. You can do a upgrade by booting from DVD/ uncustomized jumpstart, then choosing "upgrade installation" as the installation type.
It's more or less the same procedure as a live upgrade but without all the synching stuff that happens on first reboot after a live upgrade and can be a bit more reliable than a live upgrade.
