Installing Hardy (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS) on Asus eee pc(II)

Update: Working procedure is by this link

Below is just description of broken update.

First problems

The Update manager of my eeeXubuntu Gutsy requested 900 mb to be free'd.

I have 1 gb swap for the hibernation, thats way I don't have enough space for the upgrade.

solution

Thats way I have removed previously installed applications:

sudo apt-get remove
   claws-mail*
   djview
   xpaint
   freemind
   emacs
   vlc

sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean


of cause I am going to install this all back 
after the finishing upgrade from the Gutsy.

then from mozilla -> tools -> Clear private data

This way 1gb+ storage were free'd on the device
(I am storing all data on card, thats way /home/ doesn't contain a lot of the data).

It is proceeding with the install now.

However, next time I'll prefer
to configure the update manager to store it's files on the sd card.
