During the installation, it told me that it couldn't connect to the internet, so I couldn't install the optional 3rd party stuff. This was through the gui installer, not full blown live cd - installer. Did I just miss the network configuration options or does it not offer them at all?

Re: [ubuntu-uk] The new Ubuntu-UK website
I agree, looks nice and clean. Is it just going to be the single page or will there be more added?
