I have a couple of JeOS 8.04 installs. I know that JeOS has been discontinued and there is now a minimal install option as part of a new Ubuntu server 9.04.
But I don't want to do a new install. I need to upgrade an existing JeOS 8.04 to Ubuntu Server 9.04. How can I do that? ](*,)

Edit:
Because JeOS 8.04 is an LTS (Long Term Support) release, no updates are offered until the next LTS is released. So you first have to modify a setting to allow it to pick up other releases. Then I was able to upgrade to Intrepid 8.10 server and then to Jaunty 9.04 server (couldn't skip directly to Jaunty).
I found info about it on the upgrade from 8.04 LTS to 8.10 site here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades#Network%20Upgrade%20for%20Ubuntu% 20Servers%20(Recommended)
Which describes:
Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Servers (Recommended)
1. Install update-manager-core if it is not already installed:
sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
2. Edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set:
Prompt=normal
3. Launch the upgrade tool:
sudo do-release-upgrade
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
