same error message as im #2 from Brian when I try to update a ubuntu server i386 from dapper 6.06.2 to hardy 8.04.3 with cdromupgrade
ok, this server has no ubuntu-desktop nor any *-desktop.
it is a server , no need for a desktop.

the physical server has no online connection, unfortunately.
Updating a test (virtual) system with online access worked well, but this doesn't help me with the physical server.
