I know that Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) is out, but how do you update to it from 5.04? I tried 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade' but they came back with a bunch of 404s: Thanks,
Greg

I think an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' should do it. But before you do that, you appear to be having problems with the package syncronization, a lot of things aren't found...you might want to look through your /etc/apt/sources.list file and check that everything there is correct, and all instances of 'hoary' replaced with 'breezy'.

Okay, I didn't see anything obvious that was wrong. I need to replace 'hoary' with 'breezy'?

Hmm...did you make that file? What are the backports uncommented for? My information may not be entirely accurate since I haven't used Ubuntu since just after Hoary was released. I had the universe and multiverse repositories, but never those backports.
First make a backup of the file (cp sources.list sources.list.bck). Maybe try commenting the two last lines, since they don't seem to be working anyway judging by your 'apt-get update' before. Then replace every instance of 'hoary' with 'breezy'. Now apt-get update. If that goes perfectly smoothly, you can perhaps try an apt-get dist-upgrade.
DISCLAIMER: I haven't used a Debian distro since Hoary was released. I'm not garanteeing this will work perfectly, but right now I don't see why it shouldn't.

Yeah, I did what it says here ( http://ubuntuguide.org/#extrarepositories) so thats probably why it looks different.
Also, how do you comment lines? I am rather new at linux.
Thanks for the help,
~Greg

you'd need to sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
if you're having trouble changing it

Any line in a file with '#' is commented, which basically means as it sounds...it is ignored by whatever actually uses the file. They are either for notes that explain how things work to a person reading the file, sometimes to remove a line, instead of deleting it, you just comment it, in case it breaks something and you want to re-enable it later. Many configuration files come with a number of commented lines that you can 'enable' by just uncommenting.

EDIT:
Okay, I uncommented the last two lines and heres what it did: Now I need to change the word 'hoary' to 'breezy' in the sources.list before I can do a 'apt-get dist-upgrade'?
