I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04, but now wireless won't work on my computer, so I want to revert back to 7.10. I have two questions/issues:

1. Is it possible to dual-boot 8.04 and 7.10? If so, how?

2. When I try to use my 7.10 LiveCD, it never boots, even though I checked and made sure my boot order is correct. Why is this happening?

I'd really appreciate some help...thanks in advance.

1. Is it possible to dual-boot 8.04 and 7.10? If so, how?:) Yes, and it's a very good idea, I do that all the time, (run two or more Ubuntu installations in each computer. There are numerous advantages or reasons for doing so.
If you take a look in my first 'signature' link, you will find further links describing exactly how to do that.

2. When I try to use my 7.10 LiveCD, it never boots, even though I checked and made sure my boot order is correct. Why is this happening?Is the CD disk free from scratches, fingerprints and other debris?
Did you burn your CD yourself?
Try burning a new CD maybe. Make sure you buy CD disks of reasonably good quality and be careful how you handle them.
