Yep the Ubuntu DVDs usually contain both installer modes.

BTW, to upgrade my Ubuntu boxes and VM I just edited 
/etc/apt/sources.list and then ran

	sudo apt-get update
	sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

and let it run.  No need to download media unless you want to do fresh 
installs, have bandwidth limitations, or have to upgrade a bunch of them.

I'm using VMware Fusion and had no problems with getting the 
vmware-tools running in Gutsy once I got the right kernel package 
installed that matched the kernel sources package.  I just reran the 
tools config script and it built new kernel modules for me.
