I have only been using Ubuntu 8.04 for a few weeks. Will 9.04 replace 8.04 or does 8.04 have to be eliminated before installing 9.04?...

    The installer will format the current partitions and install the new version of Ubuntu onto them. So no, you don't really need to remove the current version manually.
