Face, your advice was much appreciated, but I simply couldn't get it to work right - at the time. ubuntu felt the need to become hung up when scanning the mirror, and it wasn't until later that I realized I could ahve simply of disabled/disconnected my ethernet/wireless in order for ubuntu to move on and finsih its installation. So blegh on me.

However, I do want to extend a tremendous "OMFG I LOVE YOU BIG LONG TIME" to you for all you've done - in both this thread and the previous one. Even though not everything worked out perfectly, it's now up and going, and much of my Linux nubness was watered down by your watchful, helpful eye.posts.

So thanks.


And also thanks to all of the others that have bothered to post here as well.



And Vista, no matter how pretty you look or pretend to be, the fact that one of your updates smurfed my registry up so badly that I couldn't rename, restore, or remove files and folders from the Recycle Bin... I didn't like you already, and then you went and did that.

Luckily, the computer gods of the intertubes had already found a remedy for your piss-ass updates...



Oh, and ubuntu, I like you lots. If I didn't have a girlfriend, I would mount you immediately, har har har.




...someone shoot me.
