Hi All Has anybody done this? How would you suggest I go about this?
This laptop (Acer Aspire 3002) runs fine on Ubuntu Hoary and I don't really need to use the Windows software that came with it. Everything runs fine, straight after install. Amazing. Except for special windows keys for starting Internet Explorer. ;-) Windows hasn't been used, though it attempted to boot twice, which was stopped in a few seconds by powering off. When Ubuntu was installed, the hidden rescue partition and WinXP partition had errors which Ubuntu couldn't fix. The only way out was to delete both partitions and let Ubuntu sort it out. So this laptop is fully Windows free, Windows was never used, the CDs are still in shrink wrap. So maybe it could be argued as the machine has never used Windows and as the CDs are in shrink wrap, then the ULUA that is set by MS hasn't been agreed to. Your advice in how to return the CDs for refund is appreciated. The money would come in handy to get more memory! regards Russell -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
