It really didn't at all! :) The premise of the question was about files on CD which are read only and therefore the permissions are uneditable.
This is a big issue for the distro that has sold...

Like many folk I have assigned the dreadful Pulse Audio drivers that Karmic installs by default in favour of the older, but much more usable ALSA system. My reasons for this were small unimportant...
And that failed to work!

Curiouser and curiouser! I just dusted off an old copy of Vista HP to see if that worked any better than the XP installs - however this installation only got as far as 'running windows for the first...
Thanks for the response. I did try looking at snapshot to no avail I'm afraid. Also I did a fresh install of XP in a new VM and have the same issues. One thing is .exe files that I download in the...
Hi Folks,
It's been a while since I posted, but despite attempting to fix the issues I have previously mentioned with Vbox (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1213010) I have been unable to...
Did you ever get anywhere with this. I like you lost MTP support after I ditched the dreadful Amarok 2. Really would like to get the Zen working in Linux agaain though!

It has taken 3 attempts to get XP to install - each time Vbox...
