Ubuntu is GO

[laura_seabrook]

A second install worked.

I think the problem before was that I created the first partition as a blank one for Windows, and installed Linux in the extended partition. I wiped it all and installed Ubuntu in the primary partition. It even recognizes the CD-Rom now (though not the SATA hard disk), which will make a big difference!

Lots more to do, but this was the essential first step.
