I am running on 6.06LTS and have been trying to upgrade to 8.04 for

way round this. Can anybody help please.

Upgrades require step-by-step upgrading through each release. You'll
need to upgrade first to 6.10, then to7.04, 7.10, then to 8.04.

Upgrading from LTS to LTS will be available for your upgrade /from/ 8.04
but still (I think) won't include upgrades between LTSs.

6.06 and 8.04 _are_ both LTS, though. So he should be able to do this.
Unfortunately it's almost two years since I upgraded to 8.04...
