I bought a magazine with an ubuntu 10 DVD and it installed flawlessly. Unlike FEDORA it didn't lock me out!
I was even able to install it so it siezed the Fedora partition and sees my Windows partition and the partition configured to be shard by Windows and Linux for data. The only screw up was mine. I left the 2 FAT partions alone thinking they were Windows but I believe I installed the SWAP space on the DOS-Window Boot partion. OOOPS. I have Windows as a selection in GRUB, (or whatever it is), but it fails to boot claiming a missing Boot item. Can anyone suggest a possible for an ignorant person like me remedy, or can I come to your next meeting and have someone slip a boot partition in somehow? By the way, ubuntu is amazing. Updates on installation, finding new packages is a breeze, found my network (efn/Quest) connection and even recognized my Mac airport. It was painless. Even installed a driver to take advantage of my graphics card.

Every war crisis, witch-hunt, race riot and purge…is a reminder and warning. We are the Martians. If we cannot control the inheritance within us…this will be their second dead planet!” quote: Dr. Bernard Quatermass of the The British Experimental Rocket Group The BBC TV serial miniseries version of "Quatermass and the Pit" 1957. _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
