Thank for your suggestions. re installing from USB, I thought that this would work too. I unpacked all the files from the kubuntu 6.10 iso file and copied them to my pen drive. But, trying to boot from it just resulted in the message "no boot". To install Puppy, I had to run the live cd from another machine and use the universal installer to install Puppy to the pen drive. Then, I was able to boot the sub laptop from the pen drive and use the universal installer again to install to the hard drive. However, I don't think that all distros have this sort of functionality. I guess that I really need something like this but, it would mean installing Windows first, to use it : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe/Prototype Has anyone tried it ? Or, ideally, does anyone know of a Linux Universal Installer similar to the Puppy one that works on Ubuntu ? -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
