Greetings,
I'm still in the process of researching the upgrade options myself for
migrating from 8.04 to 10.04. I am a little nervous about the sparse
documentation for do-release-upgrade. In fact, the only documentation I have
found is the do-release-upgrade --help flag. The help flag syas there are four
(4) valid options to pass to do-release-upgrade:
-d for upgradng to development versions
-h for the help list
-p [I forget what this on is, I'm not at my ubutu machine at the oment]
-m mode to determine which upgrade path to take [mode = server | desktop]
Since it appears you are trying to get to the current development version of
lucid, the command you would use is:
#do-release-upgrade -d -m desktop
(I assume this is ment to be run with elovated privilages, hence "#")
I haven't tried this yet myself. If you decide to attempt this, I would
apreciate a report of any errors/success you encounter.
good luck, and hopefully you getyour upgrade to work soon:-)
