Mac Yes I did, I just removed previous incarnations and loaded the one from Adobe and then restarted Computer... No Problems except Adobe Air sometimes tries to open RTM full screen and stops firefox.

[ubuntu-uk] Mobile broadband modems - using them on multiple networks
Hi folks, I'm looking to get a mobile broadband modem for Christmas. I was originally considering getting a T-Mobile stick for £50 as they do the £2 a day mobile broadband. However it seems that I can't get T-Mobile 3G where I live, it appears that the reception is a bit better on Three. I found this guide on The Inquirer a while ago about using a Three E220 modem (IIRC the soap on a rope modem) on Vodafone - http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/784/1007784/avoid-roaming-disasters Now I was wondering if it's just a case of plugging the modem in and changing the profile settings, or do the modems need some sort of firmware update to unlock them? From what I gather with the case of the E220 it just needs some different software from Huawei's web site. So I just wondered if anyone had managed to use a SIM from another network in a Three or T-Mobile USB broadband modem stick on Ubuntu?

Hmm, I'll have to check the store in town I think. What attracts me to T-Mobile is that it's 3GB per month and I don't have to pay £10 for the month, I can pay £2 for the day as and when I need it (I probably wouldn't use it much as I have normal broadband at home).

[ubuntu-uk] Pci-e Raid
Hi all, I've ordered one of the pci-e raid cards in the link below but I can't actually find any info on it. Does anyone know how likely it is to work under Ubuntu?

At that price it'll no doubt be a 'soft-raid' card where the raid works with a driver and the actual raid part of it is done by the CPU (rather than with something like a 3Ware card which has it's own memory and dedicated CPU for raid). If it works though you should be able to use Linux SoftRAID. Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] creating a USB startup disk
I created a USB startup disk successfully, using Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64 CD ISO and a 16 GB flash drive. But my PC will not boot from it. I tried 4 different options for the first boot device: USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, USB-CDROM, USB-HDD. None allowed it to boot. All that happened was that it got as far as Verifying DMI pool data... message, and then froze. So it seems that it is reading the USB flash drive, but it will not boot from it.
