Hi guys i want to upgrade to 8.10 from 8.04 but update manager does not give me an option to upgrade

i have follwed theses instructions:
Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Desktops (Recommended)

You can easily upgrade over the network with the following procedure.

1. Start System/Administration/Software Sources

I've got the same problem. So I'm now searching how to do the upgrade by hand ;)

EDIT:
It seems, that
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade also won't work. IMHO Ubuntu hasn't got the information, that there is a new distribution available. Although, I changed the settings in the software repositories.
