2 days ago I installed Kubuntu 7.10 from a CD, in my laptop that also has Kubuntu 6.10. It now detects my drives as sda, so that is ok. How is Kaffeine working in your 7.10? Mine crashes everytime I try to play a video. Even gxine goes for a toss. Only mplayer works but I cannot reduce the high contrast and brightness as mplayer does not have the setting. Another thing I found was that there is no libxine-extracodecs available for 7.10. I had last installed them on 7.04 at a client's place and the system installed and is running without any problems on a Gigabyte 945 and SATA hdd. For 7.10 it is w32codecs. -- Regards, Rony.
