Need to Install 8.04 but Repositories Not Found

[NorthWill]

I have a need to install a copy of Ubuntu 8.04 because we had a server crash and with the particular software that server was running, I need to rebuild exactly the same environment in order to restore from backup before I migrate to a new (supported) environment.

I have installed 8.04 (32 bit) but any attempt to install packages or do an apt-get update gives me a series of 404 Not Found errors. I'm assuming that the repositories listed in /etc/apt/source.list are no longer valid. Can anyone point me to where I can find those repositories?

and so on ...
