I can easily update to sources list. Why don't the upgrade instructions say anything about doing this (specifically I'm looking at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades/Kubuntu)?

Maybe I'm just to accustomed to how Gentoo works. Sent from my iPhone On Nov 8, 2008, at 12:14 PM, Dazed_75 wrote: > On Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 8:00 AM, Jon M.
