Ok. The clean slate worked really well. I downloaded a "breezy" iso then burned a cd image and reinstalled the whole thing. I now have a working (mostly) version of ubuntu. Thanks for the help. Kubuntu = Ubuntu with a kde desktop manager. Right?? Regards John Btw I got kicked out of the states so am looking forward to attending the next meeting JT ----- Original Message Follows -----

Hey all I had a problem with the "simple" install of Ubuntu Hoary which I thought was due to me not paying attention to the partitioning thus not including a swap space. However I retried the install and paid attention to what happened. Almost at the end of an otherwise uneventful install the programme said:
Would suggest you start again with a clean slate. Use Knoppix and QtParted to wipe current data and to create a swap partition. I have just put up a HowTo @ http://www.wlug.org.nz/UbuntuKbuntuInstall

When you're in the 'States, you can't go to meetings. :)
Yeah, I eventually worked this out in a private conversation with John... I was just a bit slow at catching on :) -- Matt Brown matt(a)mattb.net.nz Mob +64 275 611 544 www.mattb.net.nz
