apt-get update

[Ray Parrish]

Hello,

I'm not real sure why those urls are returning an error, but I do note 
that you are trying to update Hardy from the Dapper repositories. Why? 
That wouldn't really be an update from the repository for the older 
version of Ubuntu.

I can't for the life of me remember where the software sources file 
resides or it's name. I just tried the Software Sources program on the 
System menu, but it's not showing me the repository urls, which is what 
I was going to paste in here for you.

Ok, I found it! It is located in /etc/apt/sources.lst and here is what 
the contents should look like for Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy.

*start of file*
# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080423)]/ hardy 
main restricted
# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.

*end of file*

Put that into your sources.lst file and you will be able to get updates 
that apply to Hardy instead of Dapper.
