Hey folks,

Hi folks,

You're right about the extra boot entries - I have about 8 more than I did before I pushed the 'Fix Common Errors' button. I'll follow your link, thanks.

Hello all,
I have tried to follow the directions found here and on IRC to install Ubuntu 12.04.2 from a live CD with no joy.

Before I read this post, I knew beans could be hidden but I didn't know how to do it and I was too lazy to research why. Now I know but I'm too lazy to bother hiding these beans of mine.

Hi all, I'm running 10.10 on an old Gateway 7330gz and am wondering how to add other locations (Downloads and Documents, specifically) to the places menu. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

It just occurs to me, another great blend is Cafe Le Monde - it's coffee and chicory. That may sound strange, but when made into a nice cafe au lait with warm milk it's delicious. It's a fave down...

There's a chain called Peet's on the west coast. They recently started packaging beans and ground coffee. I am able to buy it in NYC at Stop & Shop for $10/lb. Amazon and eBay have it, but they're...

I did as suggested. The CD data was not corrupt and when I tried to install again everything went according to plan. Thanks...:popcorn:

Hi all.

I installed 10.10 about a month ago and am loving it. But I have some serious connectivity and graphics issues. At this point it is just simpler to reinstall from the live CD.
