Only 6.06 and 7.10 of XUBUNTU are listed on website

Cos the support for the intermediate versions has ended. 6.06 is still there as it's a Long Term Release.

^^
Support for 6.10 and 7.04 are till 2008/04 and 2009/10 respectively.

Edgy Xubuntu > *mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/xubuntu/6.10/release/
Feisty Xubuntu > *mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/xubuntu/7.04/release/

(I've just listed one mirror, there're flavors of those two still available in the rest too)

^have to edit /etc/fstab and add mount entries of ur windows partitions.if ntfs partition,u need to install ntfs-3g for write enabled which may be there for dapperdrake.
u can post here ur o/p of "fdisk -l" as root(su -) as i suppose 6.06 doesnot use sudo by default

 

[QwertyManiac]

Dapper uses sudo just as fine

 

[praka123]

^afair from edgy eft 6.10 onwards only ubuntu moved to sudo.

 

[QwertyManiac]

Nope, I've never used su - in my life of Ubuntu since 5.04

*ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#Windows shows the use of sudo too.

Dapper is an LTS classic release as well
