I am no computer wizard - so take all this with a grain of salt. I also need some help ... .
Firefox Namoroka/3.6.4pre was causing me problems and I did not manage to downgrade, so I decided to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 which used Firefox 3.6.3.
A clean install of the 10.04 beta2 went fine and Firefox 3.6.3 worked fine as expected. All needed files which I had on Karmic did fit on a USB stick and were downloaded to the new dist with no problem except for some .txt files which got corrupted.
A few of the .txt files I managed to save by changing the .txt to .cvs extension but some just continue to be corrupted- these were text files with no extension visible - hope that somebody can help here.
As to the new beta version of Lucid Lynx, if any inexperienced users (like me ) are considering to install it at this early time, you should be aware that there are many updates both for the Manager and for the Synaptic Package Manager - I get them like twice daily.
Additionally, Computer Janitor is busy removing unneeded packages - at least daily.
Hope that somebody can help me recover the .txt files
