FUD. There is no need to remove 8.04 to install 9.04. I finished upgrading my sisters Ubuntu laptop from 8.04 to 9.04 last week. Took a few weeks because she's still working on a 128 kbps sify connection which disconnects every 10 minutes (I know, let's not digress into the ISP topic now). All you have to do is click on the shiny "Upgrade" button in your software updater. Also, I haven't tried this, but it should be possible to scan the 9.04 DVD for package information and upgrade that way as well. It seems possible (from a Debian/apt viewpoint). Maybe somebody here has tried it (un)successfully? -- Siddhesh Poyarekar http://siddhesh.in -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
