Sorry that it did not go smoothly, but glad that you are back up and running. Mint 10 is good. I installed it on my wife's machine. She is a Windows user, but is managing well enough in linux with Windows also in a VM.
For FF bookmarks you can use XMarks, but it went down for a time. It could not afford to keep running, but has an investor or buyer. It and is back but I would not rely on it because it is due to change. Use Dropbox to sync the bookmarks file or FF now has its own sync service. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10868/ Roy Using Kubuntu 10.10, 64-bit Location: Canada On 25 November 2010 09:00, grantrocket2 <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I tried using the live boot Cd.
