I looked at the page and it says:

Upgrade from 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS
This section describes how to perform 6.06 LTS -> 8.04 LTS upgrades. 


Network upgrade for Ubuntu desktops (recommended)
     1. Make sure the "dapper-updates" software channel is enabled. 
        
     2. Be sure that you have all updates applied before you upgrade. 
        
     3. Press Alt-F2 and type gksu "update-manager -d" 
        
I do not have any idea what the "dapper-updates" software channel is or
how to enable it.

As far as I know I have all the updates. Whenever it tells me there is an update I update it.
