I am trying to upgrade my Hp MIE 8.04 Hardy to 10.04, but I can't figure out how to do this.

It is the original install of HP MIE but when I use something like:


update-manager --devel-release

I install updates, but when i re-check it does not display upgrade available.

The update manager looks different due to the MIE interface. Is there another, better way to do this?

* Sorry I should clarify that I am interested in keeping HP Mie, but using the 10.04 as a base.

I would imagine a fresh reinstall is the best way to get 10.04. You would lose the MIE interface, obviously. :)

That is what I was figuring, it looks like HP isn't supporting a 10.04 MIE. Which is bad because the MIE interface is pretty cool.

I have the HP Ubuntu repositories, but nothing.
