upgrade 5.10 ?

[ieee488]

I am trying to upgrade Ubuntu 5.10 on my IBM Thinkpad 600.

Unfortunately, the CD drive on this laptop doesn't read burned CDs very well.

So, I am trying to update from the internet; the message I get is that my system is up-to-date.

How can I at least upgrade to next version?

Help. :confused:

5.10 is not supported anymore.Probably,you should use someone else's CD drive to install 8.04 [or] if it's available in Ubuntu,use netinst(IIRC,it's available in Debian)

I guess I'll have to go look for book that includes a pressed CD of a newer version of Ubuntu.

or,ask canonical to ship you a free CD.
