I admit I'm no expert, but I actualy tried it two days ago, and it workd for me :-) That beeing said, I think the official recomendation is to install 8.04 Hardy, specialy if you need a realtime kernel ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio ). /Sandie -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

Well, my deed got done... Now reporting out from Ubuntu Studio 8.10...
Looks very impressive, seems quicker than Ubuntu regular... probably more
work organizing, compacting, optimizing... More work to do... But for now:
I have one rather foolish sounding question: When one minimizes a
window... where does it go to? Since there is a top frame to the desktop
window, no bottom, where I am used to such windows going (to). For instance,
I have 'RealPlayer 11' installed, when I minimize it, it disappears, but
it continues playing... I click on the launcher icon, which I have put on
the top frame ('Add to Panel'), the player hiccups, continues playing, but
the player it self does not show (this is but one example).
What to do?
Thanks.

to ad the graphics package in a few days ... but it *can* be done.

I suuspect there's something wrong somewhere, I've still got BOTH top and
bottom panels.
- Clean install of 8.10 with ubuntustudio-desktop installed via synaptic
package mgr.

Re: [Fwd: Re: Upgrading from Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu Studio 8.10]
Does this overwrite the programs I installed outside of Ubuntu S. (as it suggests)? This would be very troubling. Could there be some 'appearance' I have or have not adjusted? Henry p.s., I did a test of the CD prior to installing... it came out w/ a clean bill of health.

Re: [Fwd: Re: Upgrading from Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu Studio 8.10]
I don't have a bottom frame... I got rid of it. I have my menu bar and windows at the top. All these kinds of settings are deep within gconf-editor or in the one of the folders named something like ~/.gnome2. You shouldn't need to use those tools to find the look you want, though. -Scott Henry W. Peters wrote: Thanks much Scott! It does not appear on the bottom of the desktop window, but at the top... (at least not yet, didn't restart). But sure beats doing a reinstall... Wonder though, as Billy C. sez that he has a bottom frame, if there this might be a sign of /something/ amiss...?
