Hi Teejay, thanks for the speedy reply. Yes the ;ive CD worked find. I used it a good bit of time, no problem there. My problem is when I go to install. But at what seems like the last third of looks to be, it just stops. The computer does not lock up, crash or anything, it simply just stops taking the information. Everything else seems to word, the Sstart botton, and all that. I can scroll threw the images at the top of the status bar and looks at the features. But it just stops taking the information. I am stumped. I have no other desk top to install it with. I have no other problems with any other distro but this. I suppose that I can use something else. But I kind of had my heart set on WattOS. I thought about trying Rr and see of that would take. What are your thoughts on that? I could do that, and wait till R6 comes out and try that. Thanks, Rob

Hi all.   I have yet to install to my netbook yet, but will do that soon, and as its new, expect no problems.   However here is my situation with a computer that I wasn goven for doing some work on a few computers for a penny pinching Co in return. LOL!   (The really need new stuff)   The PC is an OLD Dell desktop. A Dim. 4500. Its got a 1.80 Ghz Pnetium 4, and only 1 gb of ram. And only has 32 MB of video ram.   I have had good luck with the live CD, and was really hoping to get it installed. BUT, here is the problem...   I get threw everyting, and the download from the CD is going fine. But when I get to what lookes like light at the end of the tunnel, it stops. Everything works, and Ic an click on everyting, but the indicator status bar on how far I am in a certain part of the install STOPS! It makes no sense. Has anyone ran into the problem?   Please help. I hate to install anyting but Watt, but I am at the point that I might need to.   Please advise.   Rob

Leenie, thank you for the you tube channels. One did the job very well. It want into it and I understand it now better then I did. The only part about is that, one needs to know what one is looking for rather then seeing it posted in a respository. But, I can work around that. ALso, if I were to install software from a trusted website that offers a it in Linux, how would I uninstall it? Does Synaptic also do that? Thanks all who have tried to help me with this, I am very grateful. Rob

I have a Canon Canoscan LIDE 210. And a Brother HL-2270DW Lazer printer. Before I install R5, do you think that I will be able to find drivers to run these things? Oh, and being that I will not be able to use the Canon software as far as improving the images, and doing color corrections and so on, will the photo software be simple enough to handle these operations without a lot of fuss? I will not have a lot of time to spend a great deal of time on each photo.  Thank you very much, Rob

I have a pretty new netbook. Its an Acer 722. It has an C-60 dual core. (And 4 GB Ram) I am a little shy about installing to HD, as I have heard that Linux has problems with the AMD CPUs.  Can you please give me any information on this? Thanks, Rob
