I've tried downloading an iso for a fresh install (Penlinux, or whatever it's called wouldn't recognize the flash and when I tried to make it on the usb creator, the computer said the drive wasn't bootable). So, I thought I'd upgrade and then do a fresh install, which went well until the panel comes up saying how many packages are to be uninstalled and how many installed and how much space it will take. I've hit the problem I've had with UNR on a 10" screen several times (rythmbox is a culprit), that the button lies below the bottom of the screen and the window can't be resized to make it visible. I have tried hitting enter (no response), hitting tab, then enter (installer aborted) and hitting it with a hammer (not really).
I'm in the embarrassing position of having my 'Microsoft certificated' boss raving about 10:10 and swearing he'll never go back to Windows, while I'm stuck on the incomplete and awkward 10:04 netbook remix, drooling about the joys of Unity, but unable to get it.
Any ideas? I wasted a lot of last weekend on it and I'd really like to get back to using the computer as a tool for next weekend.
By the way, I'm a long-term Ubuntu user but not a techy, so I do often overlook things that are obvious to more savvy people. If that is the case, forgive my rant.
