I think you might have to make an 8.04 or 8.10 Cd and upgrade from that. There is a way of switching off some of the repositories but i still heven't seen that way done yet. If someone does show the way then it probably wouldn't hurt to have a more up-to-date Ubuntu Cd anyway.

Good luck and regards from

Thank you for your response I've tried many times to download kubuntu 8.10 but as in our university we are not allowed to download any kind of Cd, so I tried to request a free CD about two months ago and I've not received any sort of CD the only remedy of my probelm is to upgrade my kubuntu version by using internet(ethernet). So in the light of above stated facts can anyone solve my probelm i-e to upgrade kubuntu 7.10 by using internet.

Thanks alot!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess it's on the way then? I hope it gets there soon for you. It's been quite a frustrating wait i think
Good luck with this and have fun when it finally arrives :)
