I was not so much interested in the iso download more a general repository mirror. This would ease up my upgrade situation for my mums computer. she has only 400mb per month which is not good for upgrading to hardy... Seems like I have to dowload a CD image. Can I use the alternate CD image to do a dist upgrade (xubuntu)? -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
