Hi Guys I still welcome all your feedback.
But i really couldnt be more dumb...cant even google properly :) This Ubuntu link describes upgrading from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades> You can easily upgrade over the network with the following procedure. 1. *Press Alt-F2 and type **update-manager --proposed* 2. Click the *Check* button to check for new updates. 3. If there are any updates to install, use the *Install Updates* button to install them, and press *Check* again after that is complete. 4. A message will appear informing you of the availability of the new release. 5. Click *Upgrade*. 6. Follow the on-screen instructions. It's going on, as i type this.
