It wasn't in the notes when I installed Lubuntu. Also, I think it would be better to include this package by default. I think most users would assume this functionality would be standard. > > 6.

I also lost a hacked wireless module I compiled that would allow me to use a wireless hotspot on my phone. (Which is too bad because it worked fine up to Ubuntu 9.10, but not with any of the 10.xx distros.) Maybe it's something I did wrong or it has to do with kernel updates? Like I said, I am not an expert. > > -- > Steve Cook (Yorvyk) > > I think that covers it for now. Most of the stuff if more or less fixed on this system, but I'm in the process of setting up Lubuntu on my new laptop so I'll have to dig through a few of these issues again. None of them are deal beakers for me, but should I really need to dig around wikis and search the net for this stuff? I bet "Average Joe" won't bother and simply give up. Tim
