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 <a href="http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes" target="_blank">http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes</a> for how to upgrade to # newer versions of the distribution. deb <a href="http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" target="_blank">http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/</a> hardy main restricted deb-src <a href="http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" target="_blank">http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/</a> hardy main restricted ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the ## distribution. deb <a href="http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" target="_blank">http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/</a> hardy-updates main restricted deb-src <a href="http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" target="_blank">http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/</a> hardy-updates main restricted ## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu ## team, and may not be under a free licence.
