Hi Lyneham, Thank you for your email.
Welcome to the Community. Please checkout and join the IRC #ubuntu-au and #ubuntu-au-chatchannel (Applications -> Internet -> XChat or Pidgin). You'll be able to get immediate answers to your questions :-) This will also work from the 'Live CD', if you have any pre-install questions.

(It's been a while since I did this, so I'm unsure of the best way to do this for a newcomer.) > I've just landed on the oz ubuntu page from here > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList Excellect. > and will have a look best regards, > > Lyneham Cheers, :-) Paul Schulz - Ubuntu and Ubuntu-Au Member -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
