hi all!, i have bought a new Asus k42jr notebook with no OS. Ihave an old version of an ubuntu cd 7.04. i have installed the cd successfully but it does not recognize the network adapter (lan), audio driver and the bluetooth. how can I enable my LAN so that i can upgrade my Ubuntu to the newest version. BTW, i use another another notebook to check on how to enable my network driver. - this notebook has no cd writer installed and the new laptop does not allow me to boot from the USB. hope you could help
thanks!!

The version of Ubuntu you have is no longer supported, you really need a more recent version.

Are you certain the wireless is not supported? Another post says that it works, but perhaps that is with a later version of Ubuntu. If the wireless works, do you know how to connect to a wireless router?

geez stupid me! good thing the old version of ubuntu still recognizes my DVDburner on my laptop- i transferred the iso file of the new ubuntu and burned it on the laptop. let me reinstall the new version, crossing fingers!!!
