So I have ubuntu with 8.10 fully updated with windows dual boot. So I started to use update-manager upgrade, which would have taken 5 hours. So I decided to use the alternative CD. So I downloaded that and mounted the ISO. I then ran the command. It asked if I wanted to use the Internet for updates. The first time I said yes. After 5 min of fetching I gave up and canceled. I ran it again saying no. It then gave an error saying:
Error authenticating some packages It was not possible to authenticate some packages. This may be a transient network problem. You may want to try again later. See below for a list of unauthenticated packages.
There was a huge list. So I tried again saying yes to Internet updates, it ran through saying uninstall this, install that and upgrade this. There were 400MB of upgrades, I only have a small amount of bandwidth, so that is to much. I canceled it again and tried again saying no to Internet. But it still came up saying download 400MB of updates. So no matter what I do it tells me to download, and that I can't do.
So what can I do??? Can I clear the catch and start again? Could I backup my stuff install 9.04 newly then move everything across? Or am I stuck? Someone please help. PLEASE
