Hello all.
I am running Ubuntu 6.10 and trying to upgrade. I can't do anything as it relates to upgrading, from update manager, apt-get, network boot upgrade, and the alternative CD.
At some point for each of those, they obviously have to talk to a mirror site, and I always get an error. Even the alternative CD gives me a "Failed to fetch" because it encounters a problem talking to a server.
I am a total noob, I'm talking in all meanings of the term. I'm pretty sure if I were to just update my sources.list, it would solve all my problems. Here it is as current:
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Anyone have a working sources.list or have any idea as to what I can do? Again, I'm running Ubuntu Desktop 6.10, if it matters.
Thanks for reading!
