How do I copy settings from 7.04 to new 8.04
I Have installed new 110 Gb drive on ASUS A3A laptop and partitioned it. Hda1=Xp,Hda2=fat32,Hda3=/home,Hda4=logical Hd5,6,7 /boot,/and swap
Copied across home folder from 7.04 reinstalled ubuntu 8.04 .
But how do I get my applications running that were running on 7.04 .
Have original drive as usb drive that is still bootable to 7.04
Checked all the forums every one says just copy across Home partition .
BUT HOW DO I GET THEM WORKING AGAIN ? PLEASE SOMEONE

/home contains user settings and documents only. Applications will need to be re-installed using synaptic package manager or apt-get.

Code:sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
