Congrats, you are now running Karmic!

Um, first of all downgrading is frowned upon as it's very difficult and more than likely will not work. Best bet is to re-install Jaunty as that will be quicker and, obviously, will be successful. But if you still insist, do a google search for 'downgrading ubuntu' and follow the first link.
