I hope you (chaps) don't mind me posting bits and pieces which are not constructive for anyone else.

I'm downloading Ubuntu NRE 10.04 to the hard drive of my Windows7 notebook. Then I plan to burn it to an 80-minute CD-R. Then I plan to borrow bro's USB optical drive and use that to install U-NRE onto my netbook. Right?

While it's downloading I'm going to re-partition the netbook hard drive, but there may be problems with roots and ext3/4 ?:| Image hosted by Photobucket.com
