Just go to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and replace all mentions of 
hoary with breezy. Then type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get 
dist-upgrade. Then go back to that file and replace every mention of 
breezy with dapper and type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get 
dist-upgrade again. You might want to comment out the reference to the 
cd too because it will keep popping up annoying error messages otherwise.
