    Packages/Updates for Ubuntu 10.10

    I knew the updates/packages for Ubuntu 10.10 had been EOL.
    Just wondering why Ubuntu won't let users download the packages for Ubuntu 10.10.
    Sometimes, for the development box it's pretty hard to upgrade to the latest OS. And we might just update(knew it's not of the latest)/install packages for Ubuntu 10.10 if required. But now, it seems like it's impossible.
    Any ideas?

    Have a look here. You just need to switch servers. How to install software or upgrade from old unsupported release?

    Be aware that this will give you what exists. There will be no updates for 10.10 forthcoming and that includes security updates. I would be reluctant to have that machine connected to the net.

    It works!
    Yes I knew there will be a security risk on it.

    Thank You!
