    Hi ncnbnt.

    I don't think there is a way to downgrade. A clean install is the only way

    to go back.

    You cannot downgrade, make backups and do a fresh installation.

    And if you want to use software from different Ubuntu releases in the future, have a look at documentation about backports or apt-pinning.

    It might be much easier to try to get the programs to install... which are they?
    Please thank me! -> Yes, I am that shallow.
    I have Ubuntu on my laptop, Kubuntu LMCE on my media center & Xubuntu on my server. Anyone want to employ me as teacher so I can run Edubuntu?

    Did you upgrade

    a) 8.04 > 9.04

    or

    b) 8.04 > 8.10 > 9.04?

    The former will break your system, while the latter is the proper way to upgrade.
