Hi All,
I have a slightly quirky question. I just now downloaded 8.10 CD image
and burnt it to a CD. I have the DVD of 8.04 which contains so many
additional applicaions not found in the default CD.

My question is this: If i install Ubuntu 8.10 with the CD and the
system is running. Now if i include the 8.04 DVD in the apt -
sources.list , will it take that as a valid source and install
applications from the DVD? I am going ahead with the idea that
I do not need the bleeding edge software of 8.10 and am quite happy
with the other multimedia and miscellaneous software from the earlier
distro.
Or will it conflict?
I assume GNU/Linux will have backward compatibility but I just want
confirmation from experts in this forum.
