Alan, well corrected. I'm an Alpha 4ish kinda guy ( I like change!), I forgot that you cant upgrade direct through two releases.
Though I must say, in theory there shouldn't be a problem with it (if the option is even there). I'm almost tempted to install hardy just to try :) But then again, a broken installation and a can of beer is my idea of a good Friday night! Rowan, you can pretty much disregard my advice, but at least you know that your problem is fixed in later releases of Ubuntu.
