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 seized 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 partitions alone thinking
they were Windows but I believe I installed the SWAP space on the
DOS-Window Boot partition.
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.
