[Ubuntu-ZW] Error fetching archives using apt-get install

[Kerry Gammon]

Hi there Gyron,

Ubuntu 8.04 is not al LTS (long term support) and therefore they would 
have stopped posting updates for it in April of this year. And I think 
after October they remove the repository all together.

My suggestion is that you install a newer version, and if you are going 
to need it to run without updating it, you will need an LTS version like 
10.04. This will guarantee updates for the next 5 years
