I recall it said it was waiting on something. I can't for the life of me remember what it was tho. I did look at dmesg but didn't see anything. Of course, I wasn't real sure what to look for either. I think it was looking for something that wasn't there yet. Looked at to much puter stuff to remember now. :/ Yep. I started to do this to begin with. I kinda wanted to see what Ubuntu was like. Now I know. It would be OK for a temporary setup. I don't think I'd like it long term tho. If I get some files renamed later on, I may try to do a backup and see if everything works, speed etc. About out of steam. Dale :-) :-)
