The liveCD version 20-0-2 I just dl & burnt, does know about this. The
5.something available on this elderly buntu install hasn't a clue.
So now the disk is ready, but the installer won't let me past the broken
partitioner/formatter in it. So obviously I hit the reset button & removed
the dvd as it rebooted.
Linux has had several years now to fix its installers to deal with this.
Why not? You could call me puzzled, but the air color and transparency
here seems to describe a different descriptive term. :)
Thats how it seems to me anyway.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
