I am trying to install the latest Ubuntu on my Toshiba laptop.
I tried going the Wubi way to install it as for some reason I just can't
seem to be able to just put the CD in and boot into the Live Ubuntu.
The Wubi installer gives me buttons ie for running demo Ubuntu but nothing
seems to be happening when I click it or finish and I don't seem to be able
to get it to reboot for accessing Ubuntu.
The only thing I can think of is to find a Sighted person to reconfigure the
boot menu but I don't have anyone Sighted available with the technical
knowledge of Linux.
the laptop is a Toshiba which I bought forom Staples this year.

try vinux.org.uk I think it is(there is a small thread in this group on
this) Their next to last version uses ubuntu, and on there d-load
website there are links for files designed to installl to usb drives
that are supposed to come up talking. Once you have this, I think you
could updatte easily if you need or want to-at least you could learn
more about the os so that you will have an easier time....They have
resources to help with installing on windows systems on their site also.
When I get the time I am going to try one of their linux packages, and
when I do I will post on it...Think their are a couple other guys on
this group that use this, so maybe they can help you sooner.
Good luck, and make more sighted friends.

If it is a Toshiba you can alter the boot order in the control panel
under Toshiba Notebook setup or similar. Use Vinux instead of Ubuntu,
it gives more information when booting etc.

Here is another that should have been posted around 20.30 GMT, but did
not go out. It looks like t-bird may not be saving usenet msgs
correctly when working off-line. I find them in my sent mail, but not on
the list, and couldn't directly forward msg from sent usenet msgs either.

Strange, as I saw the original post you sent on this thread.
