No, I am not a developer. I just know a few terminal commands, that's about it. To tell the truth, I've kind of lost interest in Linux and Ubuntu. I do support it and respect it, however. After Windows 7 came out, I started using Windows again as well my Mac. I don't really have more time to waste. Since you & I corresponded last, I downloaded 10.4 AGAIN via the wubi-installer website and installed it on my EIDE H/D which has Vista 32bit on it. It installed fine and booted up fine once. Then after I got a bunch of updates, I got A DIFFERENT, BUT SIMILAR ERROR MSG - something about not finding the root directory. Now it won't boot up at all. Whatever happened, it really goofed up my EIDE H/D because the next time I booted it, it automatically went into a CHKDSK and found SEVERAL, SEVERAL PROBLEMS - all of which it was able to fix, THANK GOD. After that, I said no more. I can't believe Canonical has released 10.4 w/no so many, what I consider, serious bugs. Its HORRIBLE! I might try Ubuntu again when 10.10 comes out. Until then, you can forget about it. Larry MartinAustin, TX
