That's easy. Just put the Ubuntu CD in and reboot. It'll run a bit slower off the CD, but you can check that everything is working that way before installing (or modifying the hard disk in any way). One sometimes troublesome area is wireless network. Report back, or to the ubuntu-users list, if something doesn't work right away. Workarounds are usually possible. -Eamonn -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
