Problem upgrading

[bigpappajohn1984]

I am trying to upgrade from Jaunty Jackelope to ubuntu 9.10 and this is the terminal message that I get....

Setting up debhelper (7.0.17ubuntu4) ....

Setting up java-package (0.42ubuntu1) ...
Setting up cacao (0.99.4-1) ...

Setting up sun-java5-doc (1.5.0-19-0ubuntu0.9.04) ...
This package is an installer package, it does not actually contain the
J25DK documentation. You will need t ogo download one of the archives:

jdk-1_5_0-doc.zip jkd-1_5_0-doc-ja.zip

(choose the non-update version if this is the first installation).

Please visi

Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5

now and download. The file should be owned by root.root and be copied to /tmp



First off I don't know which file to download from the website, and then once I do download, how to use zip files with ubunu????????? Is this something I can do in a few simple steps with the sudo apt-get and get the file that way?

Ubuntu usually works best upgrading via the install CD. Trying to do the online upgrade has as far as I can remember been prone to errors whenever you've installed software beyond the base install. Skipping versions almost never works. (I know that's not what you're doing, just a FYI thing).

Download the 9.10 CD, burn, boot, and install from there. If you don't have a separate /home partition, don't let it format anything (it shouldn't, but pay attention anyway).
