Hello Colin

I did modified the /etc/apt/sources.list.......it contains -

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted universe
multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates main restricted
universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-security main restricted
universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty-security main


But when I try to install wget I still receive the following error.

    E: Couldn't find package wget
