Hi Dex,
You can try going straight to 9.10 as long as the core system (kernel, udev, init, etc) allows it--I haven't tried so I don't know. KDE3 iteslf will work just fine with that jump.
When you do upgrade, follow the instructions here: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Karmic#Upgrade%20from%208.04%20%5BHard... %20Heron]
Let me know how it turns out!
Bad - Kubuntu borked in the first place, after the upgrade the system wouldn't even boot. Need a stable system right now (good thing I completely backed up 8.04), more tinkering postponed, if not cancelled (considering migrating to debain lenny, can't take canonicals bold moves like upstart tripping over their own feet).
I'll post my results should I change my mind and succeed in upgrading, tho it rather looks like a reinstall at the moment which I have about as much a head for as for a nazi row. (I haven't reinstalled since 2003 and I'm not willing to start now.)
