Am I the only one who is quick enough to remove the CD befor the tray closes? Or perhaps my DVD drive is a sjuggish mover! My classification for this bug is 'irritating'. The importance of fixing bugs like this quickly is to protect Ubuntu's reputation. Tony -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com h

Hi, I am having problems with the installation of 8.10 as well. I installed it yesterday onto my laptop and as soon as the desktop appears it crashes. I cant get it to work at all. Is this something to do with my laptop, if so, will it work on my laptop, if not how do I revert back to 8.04?
