Hi,

I want to upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 to 9.1 however I don't want to burn another CD so how can I update using the update manager or something?

Thanks for your quick response. However I tried that and it never worked. I tried quite a few methods but updating to the new Ubuntu OS doesn't work.

8.04 would first have to be upgraded to 8.10, then 8.10 to 9.04, then 9.04 to 9.10.

I'd put the odds at success around 50%.

I would wait until Lucid Lynx is released in April 2010. It is the LTS (Long Term Support) following Hardy Heron, 8.04. You will be able to upgrade directly to it from Hardy.
