Because I couldn't find a LiveCD, I swapped
another HD and still nothing (using the Acer
recovery disks). So, if anyone has a Live CD of
Ubuntu for PC (any old version that connects to
the 'Net), please let me know when and where I
can pick it up.
Regards,
Sustain

It won't even recognize the emergency install disc(s) Acer asks you to create

The sysresccd or usb drive is a marvelous idea, but no mention of the UEFI or

The installed Ubuntu (10 or 11 version) does respond to ctl-alt-F1 but it asks
for a password. I tried a few that I thought might work, but nothing. Is there
a universal password?

And, after booting successfully, the Ubuntu OS asks for a password to allow me
to use the ADSL modem, so I can't connect to the 'Net. I don't have a liveCD.

This is critical because without a password
you can't really do anything without a
liveCD. The info in that link should let you
reset it however.
