Sorry if this > seems obvious to you, but I'm still only a newbie at Ubuntu. </div>Keep it on the list, please...  :-) (Assuming Ubuntu, not Kubuntu or Xubuntu.) 1. Open System -> Administration -> Software Sources 2. Enter your password when prompted 3. Choose Download from -> Other -> Australia -> (your choice of the other mirrors; don't pick Optus - it is the default server for Australia.) 4. Close the window.  It will probably ask you to update the repository data then.  Select yes. 5. Try starting your upgrade again through System -> Administration -> Update Manager. </blockquote><div> Thanks for the help, Paul. I made the changes you suggested and the upgrade installed without a hitch. I'm now the proud owner of a Ubuntu HH system.  </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Paul -- ubuntu-au mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au</a> </blockquote></div> -- Fond Regards, Peter Eric (aka 'pew') WILLIAMS My free website is: <a href="http://pewtas.googlepages.com">http://pewtas.googlepages.com</a> (or) <a href="http://tinyurl.com/yuyejs">http://tinyurl.com/yuyejs</a> (please visit my free website and let me know what you think about it.)
