You do know that 5.04 is no longer supported from a bug fix and security 
point of view?

Indeed if you wanted to upgrade you'd find it difficult online due to the 
repositories no longer containing the packages for 5.04 or 5.10. 

Just thought I'd mention it. If you did want to upgrade you're probably 
better off backing up your home directory (for example to a USB 
stick/disk) and installing a newer (supported) release over the top, then 
restore your home directory.

Cheers
Al.
