I try to do install ubuntu 8.04 (hardy version)

by installing 5.10 (breezy version) desktop CD,

upgrading with apt-get dist-upgrade to 6.06 (dapper version)

upgrading with apt-get dist-upgrade to 7.04 (feisty version)

The last step doesn't work, worst it breaks my installation,

impossible to do administration tasks.

Finally I decide to install the Ubuntu 8.04 desktop CD, everything seems to work out of the box on my laptop.
