To reinstall after the reboot, do I use Synaptic Package Manager? (I was an Oracle DBA for 9 years but I am not a unix systems administrator). Does Ubuntu 8.10 also use 2.6.24-22-generic? I would move to 8.10 if I could get Wireless to work, and then I could ignore my problem with blinking caps. I am off to work, so I won't be able to look at this again until tonight.
