If you don't mind ugly Tush-marked CD's then I don't mind burning 50 Ubuntu 7.10 discs and sending them to you. I've just installed it over 7.04 and the difference is worth it. I have had problems with 7.04, Fedora 6 and 7, OpenSuse 10.3, and several other distros on my Dell Inspiron laptop. 7.10 was the first distro to completely install itself and get to the GUI upon first boot without X failing. Damned that ATI X1400 and 1680x1050 screen. :) Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
