[ubuntu-uk] Downgrading Ubuntu

[Ian Pascoe]

Tony / Dave

Thanks for the responses.  Doesn't look as though it's a Ubuntu problem, but
a Gnome one.

So I'm going to hang fire on the downgrade for a fortnight or so, and use
the work arounds  provided and see what happens.

Hello, Dave.

Upsetting users by taking the systems down and re-installing them from
scratch isn't a good idea either. I guess it depends on the situation
you're in...

I forgot to mention to Ian about editing /etc/sources.list (of course).

Best wishes,
