Thats why your update sources arent working.... I would upgrade it to 7, then 8. I dont think you can go from 6 to 8, even if you can I wouldnt do it myself. update-manager -d as root if you want to try it.</blockquote><div> That was the first thing that I tried by opening the update manager. It doesn't work (Authentificating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server) If 6.10 is not supported anymore that could be why. That is why I wanted to change the sources. I was thinking that this way I would be able to upgrade to 7.04, then 7.10, then 8.04. Right now I am trying to downloads 7.10 to burn it on dvd. If that works, I'll update to 8.04 from here. If there is a way to change the sources and then upgrade that could be faster that is why I wanted to try but I don't know exactly how.
