6.06 to 8.04 upgrade errors

[indijay]

Hello All,

I am using 6.06 on Celeron 633 processor (machine from 2000)and 256mb RAM. Trying to upgrade 6.06 to 8.04 using update manager and I get following errors. Any idea how to solve these errors.

P.S. I am not a geek and thinking of switching over from XP to Ubuntu so these are all trial runs. Currently I am not using anything apart from surfing the internet.

Thanks in advance.

Though release upgrades work in most cases, you are better off doing a fresh 8.04 install.

To build upon what kpkeerthi suggested, you might try upgrading from the alternate cd (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#Upgrading%20using%20the%20alternate% 20CD/DVD) instead of online.

If it doesn't work, just use the disc to do a fresh install.
