I find Stuart's preffered installation method helpful. One question Stuart.
Do you use the live CD or a stock install of Ubuntu 6.06 or 8.04? Based on your notes, it would appear you use a stock install since you add the install.sh script. If this is the case, I am assuming you have had better success with stock installs over the live CD? Thanks.
