Thanks for the information.
To explain a little more thoroughly.
The Windows7 installation is an OEM version and the main/rescue
partitions are as installed by the manufacturer, HP.
But the use of Wubi is looking promising, so far!!
Cheers.

I would like to install Ubuntu 10.4, using Wubi, on a machine which has
Windows7 installed. The Windows7 installation uses two partitions - the
main one and a rescue partition. No CDs supplied!
If I understand things correctly from what I have found on the forum,
trying to install Wubi on such

I have quite serious printer problems, which I hoped that 10.4 would
cure. No such luck!
Has anyone got an HP B109a Photosmart printer/scanner which they have
managed to get fully working in Ubuntu? If so, please would you give me
some help?
Very briefly, I bought it some weeks ago, but have h

In my previous computer (built locally and modified over the years by
me), I had fitted a second IDE hard drive. The first drive had XP
installed and the second had Linux installed. (I tried other distros on
it, but ended up with Ubuntu).
My new, rather expensive, computer has only one hard dri
Thank you all for your help and all the information you have given.
There is a lot to read!
I agree that webcams are a minefield. In my experiments, I have found
that mine works with some programs but not with others. Different
distros give different results. There seems to be no consistency.

Hello all.
If I remember correctly, some weeks ago it was announced that there
would be an updated version of 8.04LTS. This would, basically, be a
bug-fixed version. I think it was supposed to be out in June.
I cannot find any further mention if it.
Am I remembering correctly, please?
If so,

Thank you all for your replies and all the advice you have given. I
really do appreciate it. When I posted my 'rant', I thought that I may
get a couple of replies saying "I agree" or "I don't agree". I never
thought that you would all go to the trouble you have done. What a
fantastic forum!!

This is rather O/T, but I hope no one minds!
My computer is getting rather 'long in the tooth' (just like its owner),
so I have been thinking of getting a new one. If I built my own and
something didn't work, I'd be lost. So I will have to buy. But which
machine?

For some time now, I have had two hard drives, each in its own plug-in
mobile hard drive caddy. One has XP on it (which I still need :-( and
the other has Ubuntu on it. So I have just plugged in whichever OS I
wanted.
I'm thinking of doing away with the hard drive caddies and installing

Many thanks to all who have given me advice regarding making DVD slide
shows in Ubuntu. I really do appreciate it and there is a lot to
experiment with.
Sorry for the delay in sending this. Last Friday evening I was having
ISP problems (yet again) and I was out all day yesterday.
Cheers

This is my first posting to this list, and I hope it is OK to post
requests for help on this list, rather than asking on the main Ubuntu lists.
I would like to make several hundred slides into self-contained slide
shows. The idea is to burn them on to a DVD or several CDs so that they
