Also the CDs you order through shipit come with 4 stickers each I think. I've got a fair few here. Need to stick them somewhere actually. James -- James Milligan lak...@lake54.com www.lake54.com www.killermentality.com www.twitter.com/lake54 On 31 May 2009, at 17:24, Tony Travis

Can only say +1 to the live cd. It's invaluable for me at the moment till I can fix my windows pc. Unfortunately I don't think I can help, although there is something in that book about scrambled screens. Try looking in the index for it. James -- James Milligan lak...@lake54.com

Ah right. Makes more sense now. Would a small independent store (like I've been asking about) need to pay that as well? I think I remember hearing about something like this a while back on the list. Thanks James -- James Milligan lak...@lake54.com www.lake54.com www.killermentalit

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Dell mini 10v costs more with Ubuntu than with XP

How can they charge more? They get the thing for free! Well, we presume they do... I guess it's paying for training and support etc. If so that isn't so bad James -- James Milligan lak...@lake54.com www.lake54.com www.killermentality.com www.twitter.com/lake54 On 31 May 2009, at 1
