Thanks, this is exactly what i was looking for. Mostly because i think that System76 should start moving away from Intel and NVIDIA and towards AMD/ATI . On Sun, Jun 21, 2009 at 20:13, Arc Riley wrote: > ATI did produce

Hi, Just installed karmic alpha 2, and noticed that a few packages that should have been removed at install are left behind. These include gparted, ubiquity, casper and a couple of others. Ubiquity's package description even states: Installing this package on a normal system is unlikely to be use
