Ok, so far no go with Ubuntu... but Im still trying.

Tried it on my Averatec laptop, the CD burner is flacky, so had to use the unetbooting... of course my laptop overheated and locked up half way though and now is unbootable... SOOO I tore the fucking thing completely about.. Scavanged out the HD and tore and old Sony PCG-Fxa32 laptop I had laying around... It was pulled of my desk some years ago by my mastiff, and laanded on it side jamming the Pcmcia wireless card I had in it into the machine and destrying the Pcmcia cage and a few other things in the process... I stripped out all the broken pieces, Swapped the Old 6 gig HD with the Averitecs 80 Gig. Tore about a Linksys Wireless USA adaper and stuffed it components into the resulting hole where the PCmcia cage was. Soldered some broken connections back together, including he power connection... and wa la.. IThe maching is currently formatting the drive. I'm going to have to install xp on it, as the Ubuntu boot disk will not read, but boots, to the main screen then gives a disk IO error if I try to do the install. Once XP is up, I'll try again using unetbooting and see if I can get it to work.

Fun fun fun...
