I think for trying to fix the problem any version >=8 or so should be fine just so they can get booted into a state where they can mount a filesystem and make repairs.

Hi PLUG,
My parents live in Chandler and tried to upgrade their ubuntu from 8.04 to a current version, and ran into some error where it won't reboot.  I've found some help on the ubuntu forums and think I can help them fix it, but they need a live CD so they can boot up and mount their filesystems to edit config files.  I could mail a CD to them (from Milwaukee) but then they would be without their main computer for several days.  Is there anyone in the Chandler area with a CD that they could loan to my parents?  It would be much appreciated.
Thanks, and I apologize if this is not the correct mailing list.
