need Linux 7.04 and 7.10 downloads
I loaded Linux 6.10 a month or so ago, not knowing that Linux has to be loaded in a succession of steps, as 6.10, then 7.04 then 7.10 and then 8.04 where I am trying to get to, but can't get there from here.
I want to load 8.04 but am unable to until after I load 7.04 then 7.10. Else, clear everything and start from scratch. Don't want to do that. Can anyone tell me where I may find 7.04 and 7.10 downloads or CD's? Thanks much, Len Tyree. |
Umm...Which distro are you using?
Remember...Linux is a kernel...not an OS... -C |

You cant go from 6.10 to 8.04 without getting the 7.04 and 7.10? I really would suggest do a fresh install. I know it sounds dissapointing but the change must be very different. I used 7.10 and the transition to 8.04 was a bit tough. Besides, I have seen many problems resulted in upgrades. BTW, how are you using 6.10?? Seems very strange. Foremost how did you get your hands on it during 2008? |
You don't have to look far away, "all" distro's are at LQ

Correct, it is Ubuntu, not 'real' Linux. (Told you I was 'newbie, e.g. stupid'. thanks, len. think I have found answer from 'knudfl'. how did I get my hands on Ubuntu 6.10? i purchased a book called 'beginning ubuntu linux' by keir thomas of version 6.10, and it had a cd included. |
in reply to 'knudfl'. thanks.

No-one's explicitly stated it, but you don't need to install Ubuntu in a "succession of steps". You can simply install the latest version.

Thanks to all for the help.
Problem solved!!! Reloaded Ubuntu 8.04 from scratch. Len Tyree. |

You probably went the best route to get this fixed, despite the fact it was probably a pain. IGF |
