Is there any decent way to see if the swap area - or how much of the swap area -

I almost always remove "quiet' from the kernel arguments (near the end of line before splash) just to see all of what is really going on (behind the scenes/screen ) during boot up . . .

OK Mr. President . . .

I wouldn't give up on the laptop . . .
if you can boot from the CD drive or USB you will be fine.

As I understand it . . . grub2 is needed for ext4 filesystems . . . ?

There are "hackers" / developers that are using ext3 and legacy grub0.97 for their Karmic Koala 9.10 installs -

iptables - in all linux - contain the firewall rules,
so nothing in particular about Karmic Koala U9.10 or Kubuntu 9.10 - see:

Well I did go back to Jaunty . . .

U9.10 Karmic Koala has grub2 which just kinda got in the way in my particular situation.

The installer from Karmic's live version obviously tried to be more...

I have searched in the directory /usr/bin looking for command names . . . uggh.

Ohh no, no desire to read the hexdump output . . .
I only suggested to run hexdump to show that there is in fact data there - a trick from the linuxquestions forum . . .

I have read all this and this sounds right - and I also agree don't give up totally just yet.

So a 2.3GB extended partition (sda5) is what you really wanted to install to ?

Wait . . . I too also just noticed more of your original post . . .
