Hi
Is it possible to backup and restore the list (and keys) of third-software sources, so I can reinstall everything after a clean-upgrade?

thanks

Key's you can try to export, but it's hardly worth the trouble.

I'd save a copy of your sources.lst.

For packages look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366

Probably not a good idea, since those repositories are for another release, presumably Jaunty, and they might or might not work after an upgrade. Try checking if the same third party repositories are available for the newer release.
