Those are the active repositories. And they are mirrored by region, although you can use that base domain without issue. i.e. : ca.archive.ubuntu.com us.archive.ubuntu.com Are what is usually set during install. --- All you need to do is change the URLs in your current /etc/apt/sources.list file to not use archive, and use the old-releases URL instead ( http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/). When you viewed that in a web browser, like you spoke of before it has the old release ISOs underneath releases/. That's where you were. The old apt repositories are underneath ubuntu/ So ... This is what you currently have in your /etc/apt/sources.list (or something similar) : <current sources.list> deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted </current> (and the rest of them to, restricted, univers, multivers, and all the deb-src as well ... change all URLs). Change that to : <new sources.list> deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted </new> Then run : upt-get update You'll be able to install / remove via apt using the old sources, even though maverick is not supported any longer.
