Troublefree installation, hmmm... Seeing it took about 20 hours to figure
out the AGP driver/monitor/nvidia war that kept me from Aero I'm not quite
sure. I wouldn't bet but will probably jump in head first anyway myself
tomorrow night.

We must compare notes about 3 Am Bob, I am taking my Vallium now so it
kicks in for the attempted install process.

Well that was rather painless. Installed Kubuntu, had to take a partition
out of the physical drive Vista is on for the filesystem. Vista is on a 40GB
part at the end of the drive, 4th partition. Probably lost it's assignment.
Booted with install DVD and ran System Recovery Options, it detected the
problem in the startup environment, rebooted, had to select the Recovered
option, booted fine, to the control panel to make that default and all is
well. Grub detects the new bootloader and no changes needed to be made to
it's config file.

SuSE 10.1 went in fine, lost Vista, Vallium long worn off so resorted
to the MSFT method of problem solving by chucking chairs around my
workshop in a huge temper tantrum. Doesn't seem to be very effective
for much except scaring the shit out of the dog who was minding her
own business and kipping under one of the benches. She likes the
whirring of the fans and drives for some reason.

"Boot with install DVD and run system recovery option?"

Now I would have thought of that myself if I had taken more tablets.

bugger it I am going to bed I will do it tomorrow.

Cheers Bob
