[ashish makani]

Hi Guys

I still welcome all your feedback.

But i really couldnt be more dumb...cant even google properly :)

This Ubuntu link describes upgrading from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades

<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades>

You can easily upgrade over the network with the following procedure.

   1.

   *Press Alt-F2 and type **update-manager --proposed*
   2.

   Click the *Check* button to check for new updates.
   3.

   If there are any updates to install, use the *Install Updates* button to
   install them, and press *Check* again after that is complete.
   4. A message will appear informing you of the availability of the new
   release.
   5.

   Click *Upgrade*.
   6. Follow the on-screen instructions.

It's going on, as i type this.

Ubuntu ROCKS !

cheers
