I know, all I have to do is google for an hour and I will find out how to turn it off.  An appliance should not ask you to upgrade, you should have to tell it you want to upgrade.  Is it any wonder that this is a frequently asked question given that the distribution continuously askes the user to upgrade?

This is why I don't run KDE or GNOME or any other "full desktop"
window manager.  I use fluxbox which is light and doesn't bother me.
I'm not sure how Mythbuntu handles it but the more you steer your OS
installation away from the traditional desktop role the less you will
run into these issues.  It really has nothing to do with Myth.
