Hello Al,

I've been tring to install Ubuntu for 2 weeks now so I could experiment with
wx programs.

I recieved 10 CDs from Ubuntu (5.04 ver.) and every one hangs on install.
Some guy from the Ubuntu forum was nice enough to send me a 5.10 CD. I finally
got it installed. After running it a couple of times with muli-boot I would boot
up and the Linux screen showed GRUB>_(cusor flashing). I inquired about this on
the Ubuntu forum. And was told this was a 'bad thing'. So I re-installed and
everything worked fine (for a while) then the same thing happen again. I was
advised to put GRUB on a seperate partition. I reformated and tried this a couple
of times. Now the 5.10 installation CD hangs. This guy, on the Ubuntu forum said
he's going to send me another CD. However I'm under the impression
that Ubuntu simply cannot be installed or multi-booted with windows.
I'm with you that I believe my time would be better spent working with Windows.

God bless Bill Gates for bringing us Windows.
