Hi all,
Installed Ubuntu latest version Lucid Lynx .64 on compaq 615 this is how :
In bios, put startup sequence with cd on top. (press f10 during startup and get 
to the startup sequence)
Start with cd inserted, a pink/violet screen appears for a few moments like 1_2 
minutes with two icons on bottom of screen.
During this screen press F6 
You will get to a menu with different options.
with first line "try ubuntu" selected press ok
when ubuntu started from disk, double click "install ubuntu" on desktop.
Go through all installation process.
After installation it will eject cd and restart but just once so do the 
following first thing after it has restarted :
go to System > Administration > Hardware drivers
Update all drivers (i had 3 : Broadcom B43 wireless driver and Broadcom STA 
wireless driver and ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics drivers) update by 
pressing the down right button after selecting driver in the list, one after 
the other.
Then restart.
Tadaaa. Done, works.

Thx Kamillus and everyone who posted on all forums I read.
Thx to everyone working to make Linux what it is : a positive revolution.

ps tried the .64 version because of a post on another forum, should try 
installing with .32 version later, because I think it's all about updating the 
drivers and the first install worked with the .32 cd I tried at first.
 Except I did not update drivers at the time when it restarted just once.
