<body class='hmmessage'><div style="text-align: left;">Sam:<br><br>Thanks for your help at the last NMGLUG meeting. Although it seemed that nothing was fixed at the meeting, when I let my Averatec laptop sit for a while and reengaged, your help produced a breakthrough!<br><br>So now, Ubuntu is running great on this laptop!<br><br>I believe the breakthrough was that the Red Hat beta install (which hung) did something to clear up some bad disk space.<br><br>Because when I repartitioned my Linux disk area (which was undefined after the Red Hat beta install hang--Windows partition stayed as is), I somehow felt there was a fix via a disk change :)<br><br>Taking your advice, I then installed the previous version of the Ubuntu CD (7.10) and it installed perfectly! I then upgraded on line to the Ubuntu version I wanted and had been trying to install (8.04) and the upgrade worked perfectly too!<br><br>The fix COULD have been the initial install of the 7.10 CD (instead of the 8.04 CD which always hung), but I FEEL the 8.04 CD would have installed due to a change in my Linux disk area.<br><br>Thanks again. I'm busy tuning Ubuntu and documenting all the things I've had to learn to customize it and add some off-the-wall packages. I'll not be at this meeting, But I'll be a future meeting when I will hopefully be there with something to give, instead of being there just for something to take.<br><br>Sincerely,<br>Paul Wrenn<br></div></body>
