No you dont need an CD/DVD. Take a backup of your original sources.lst. Copy the sources.lst for 8.04 from the net. You can google for that. Place it in place of your original sources.lst and issue an apt-get update then apt-get upgrade. That should do it.
Alternatively, you could download 8.04 from the ubuntu forums. and then install it.
