Installed 8.1, but about = 8.04

[Scott216]

I installed the new version of Ubuntu 8.1 (or so I though). But it seems I still have ver 8.04 on my IBM laptop. If I go to the command line and run lsb_release -a, it returns:
Release: 8.04
Codename: hardy

The iso file name I used is:: ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso. In the install process I selected 'Install Ubuntu' and for partitioning to use the entire disk.

Why do I still have 8.04?

Handy?

Did you have Hardy on your machine before? What are the outputs of this command from a terminal?


sudo fdisk -l
df -h

Meant hardy, not handy. Yes, I had 8.04 on my machine before. I thought installing 8.10 would just overwrite and reformat everything.

Below are the results of fdisk and df commands.

I re-downloaded the 8.10 ISO image and am reinstalling ubuntu. The installation screens look different then before, so I think I've got the version 8.10 now. I'm not sure how version 8.04 was named ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso, maybe one of the download mirrors had an misnamed file.
