I have a server with a bad cd player and edgy eft installed on it. I cannot use a cd to do a fresh install, I'm not sure if I can upgrade to hardy heron because i just waited too long to install it.

It has an internet connection, and i have downloaded the hardy heron iso to my laptop (a different computer than my server). Is there another way to upgrade my server?

Maybe this will work:
sudo sed -i 's/edgy/hardy/' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Starting HTTP cache proxy server: wwwoffled


well i guess the installation has halted because it seems to be stuck at this step. its been on this step for the past 20 minutes.

WWWoffled isn't that difficult to start up. Any suggestions?

Maybe this will work:
sudo sed -i 's/edgy/hardy/' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Skipping releases breaks systems. It would be better to upgrade to Gutsy Gibbon, then to Hardy Heron.

haha, ah crap well i suppose it is too late for that. I've done all the steps. and the computer seems to have hung on the step i just post. It hasn't crashed, it just seems stuck on it.

If I Ctrl + C it, what would I do next?

I guess the better question is, what should I do next?

Sorry for my mistake. I was thinking of Dapper

It worked though. That was the only hiccup i had during the upgrade. After the upgrade, I just reinstalled WWWoffle.

thanks again!

I'm glad you made it! I felt awful about my mistake.
