Discontinued versions of Ubuntu are mirrored under http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/, which can be used to setup apt’s sources.list.
For example, for Gutsy (7.10), sources.list would look like:
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates main restricted deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy universe deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates universe deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy multiverse deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates multiverse deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-security main restricted deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-security universe deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-security multiverse
Thanks to Marty, JohnF, and others on the SLUG list.
