So close, and yet so far

[laura_seabrook]

I really thought I'd achieved something yesterday, when I was able to install Ubuntu via memory stick to the Media PC. But...

• It won't read the SATA drive installed in it;
• It won't connect to the home network;
• I can't get sound; and
• I can't get it to display on the TV (had a dual monitor set-up before).

So I officially declare the whole thing fucked until Kevin gets back. The heat is just too much to work in. If it were cooler I might stand a chance.
