This tut did not work. Thanks but could it be because of the version?



I really am not worried about that. Like I said there is nothing on this machine that is of any value to me.

Also I would like it if I didn't have to enter my password to log into my Ubuntu user account at start up

how do I do that?

Hi there. I use ubuntu 9.04 on my eeepc. This machine is third on the list of systems I use the most. I take it when I am traveling and use it for the odd word processor, browsing and email.

Thanks I shall try all that tonight when I get home. Last night I attempted to install Xubuntu (and Ubuntu) using different Live CD's and Alternate CD's. Still nothing installed without crashing. I...

I'm downloading the top option on this page right now.

hope it's the right one then.

So could I get 8.04 (HH) in Xubuntu or 6.06 a better idea, or does it not matter?

In that case, what linux distro can I put on the machine? DSL?

I have not attempted the Xubuntu Live CD but have (to no avail) with two different released of the Ubuntu Live CD.

I abandoned this idea and now dual boot. I have been slowly weeding out windows on said machine. I don't game and figured that it wont be too long until I completely close the door on Vista.
