Upgrade from ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 problem

[Wendy B]

This is what came to me in the middle of the night.
I wil be going to use a friends computer to make a disc. I ordered a
free one as a back up too.

I think i like this OS. I kinda inherited this laptop.
My aunt didnt know what she was buying...
Thanks!
Wendy
