Nick,
Problems all 'round right now... So, yes, you did (after all) manage to get
ubuntu installed... :) But when it was attempted to reinstall, the same error
came up (the apic related error) as with Mandrake... So, how to turn off the
apic feature during install... so that error won't come up...? Hoping all goes
well.
Regards,
Bhaktavatsala Dasa (Vatsala)

you need to read the instructions again! you were having apic
troubles
if i recall correctly. the solution was to boot the cd with the
noapic
and nolapic parameters.
at the cd boot prompt
type
linux noapic nolapic
for information on these and other
boot parameters do precisely what the
cd tells you to do - press F1 at the
boot prompt! (you shouldn't need
to, as I have given you the solution
above, I just wanted to reinforce
the fact that there is a lot of self help
invoilved.)
(good luck. if you are still having problems i'd be happy
to meet up in
town somewhere one evening this week and get the ubuntu
install going
again. I cannot guarantee to get the modem going though, not
on the
basis of the research I have done, but if we play around for a
while, we
may get it going. Its likely we will have to download your
kernel
sources, which are not on the cd. The catch 22 is getting them
without
the modem going, in which case we should be able to plug you into
the
lan at work and get what we need).

Sorry to be back with Microsoft. Can't go with Linux without
