Hopefully the address is correct, Alias.
If I am not mistaken, a couple of weeks ago you asked for my notification
in this case and here it is:
My CD from "Ubuntu" has arrived and earlier as they projected, but as you
already had suggested.
Will have to decide the best way to install it on my machine with an 80BG
HD, partitioned into C,D,E and F, with C=20, D=15, E=15 and F=30 GB's. E&F
are completely free right now.
Maybe you or someone else here has a profitable idea.
The CD with "Linux" OS on it was mailed to me for free all the way from
Africa and to everyone's information here, I would like to mention the
meaning of the word "Ubuntu", it is: "Humanity To Others". In addition I am
free to edit, copy or distribute the CD as I would wish. What an enormous
generosity.
Thanks for pointing me to it, Alias.

Harry.

Set your BIOS to boot from the CD. Insert the Ubuntu CD before you leave
the BIOS. You can then take a live tour without installing it and see
how you like it. It will also check out your PC for compatibility. I
would recommend installing it on second hard drive because, that way, if
one drive goes, you still have the other and don't lose both OSes
simultaneously.

I can't wait for Harry's first post on the install. eg
But seriously, 'nix distros have improved tremendously and what with MS
making it so hard and difficult to license, run, and maintain a desktop
at home, the door is not open to their ultimate demise as the
predominant home/home office OS.

Right now there's some kid in their parents' basement/garage who hasn't
bathed in days working on this ... smell it ?

Well, I've been fighting with an XP Pro install for the past five days.
Finally, it's behaving itself but I am still waiting to activate it to
make sure ;-) On the *same* computer, I was up and running with Ubuntu
in less than an hour ...

Thanks for the recommendations, Alias. I may follow them. with the extra HD,
but definitely will try the exploration method you describe.
Let you know how I made out, when the time comes.
Muchos gracias (did I say that right?)

Harry.

Almost, Harry.....try *abrazos y besos grandes*......Alias might like
that.

Chuckle....see Loon?? Spanish comes in handy. As well as French. Mind
you, that phrase is what a cousin in Espana always says to me and I
think it is kind of sweet.

OH.....Harry....forgot to mention that WinME does NOT like that MRU
program that Shane is talking about. I tried it and had to take it off
back in the olden days.

Cheers......Figgs
