Right thats me got Ubuntu 7.10 up and running finally, after having a few problems with the live disc.
Have it set up and everything seems to be running well.
I am running the kernel at bootup with the following options IRQPOLL and ACPI=OFF, only way I could get it to boot.
Can somebody tell me what these settings actually do and if they will cause me any problems in day to day use.
Secondly, I'm looking for some recommendations for some Linux software for MP3, xvid videos, usenet and any other goodies you think may be useful.
Just wondering what you guys generally add to a new install.
Thanks in advance.
