Yes just that. I mean it wouldn't have to be a big organised thing either. Folk could just say I have a few hours next Thursday or whatever and I could talk about or do this or that - see how it goes:) B.<div><div></div>

Bob,<br>
<br>
Perhaps that would be a good idea. We could cover basic Linux installs, post<br>
OS installation tweaks, installing software using the package manager or<br>
from source code and some basic trouble shooting.<br>
<br>
Is this the sort of thing you had in mind?<br>

Can we not organise a few evenings or something and do installs and some<br>
basic open source stuff. Intro workshops or whatever, like its been talked<br>
about but never really happens? My knowledge is about as basic as Johns and<br>
I have been a member for club for years. Any takers? Bob<br>

You can set your computer to check if there's a CD ROM present at<br>
boot-up and use that before the hard disk. That gets done in the BIOS<br>
settings, I'll not try and explain it here because the way it's done<br>
depends on your system.<br>
<br>
If it's any consolation I too "upgraded" to Ubuntu 10 and it took ages<br>
and rendered my system completely unusable (ACER laptop). I managed<br>
to salvage some files with a copy of the earlier Ubuntu run from the<br>
CD ROM then reloaded my system with the earlier version from scratch.<br>
<br>
<br>
Other than that and the lack of proper support by the printer<br>
manufacturers, I've been very happy with Ubuntu.<br>

It doesn't have windows, when I start it up with the Ubuntu disc in, it<br>
stll<br>
seems to boot up from the hard drive.<br>
