Aloha,
Seeing the post from Jeff reminded me to ask this.
I have a net book with Ubuntu/HP on it. (All of the rest of my boxes run
FreeBSD) And the last time the updates ran part of the menu vanished to
an auto select feature.
Also I no longer have any flash that works for this unit
Ubuntu/HP? You mean an HP product with Ubuntu? Which Ubuntu version
number and desktop would that be?
I'm guessing that Synaptic, the GUI DEB package manager, disappeared.
If all else fails, aptitude is the best console / terminal-based package

FYI - if you like the look of 10.1, you can use 10.04, which is one of

I have never tried to convert an existing installation backwards. I
strongly recommend moving to the appropriate sub-version of Ubuntu
12.04. That would probably be the desktop 64 bit version. This will
probably work as an upgrade, but I would do a clean install.
Remember to grab your ISO
