[/quote] Tao, What are you doing to try to get hte CD-ROM to mount? Are you using the mount command or are you expecting it to mount automatically? [quote] [b]Tao said:[/b] I'm really looking forward to the next new release of Ubuntu "7.10" Gutsy Gibbon due for release in eight days. I'm not sure if I should do an upgrade or a complete new install. What would you chaps recommend? [/quote] That would depend on what your goal is. If you want to become more comforatble with installing new systems, upgrade to the new version. It may have some new drivers and security measures which would make the install easier. If your goal is to get the machine up and doing something else useful, I would wait to upgrade until you have completed this install and it is stable enough that you feel comfortable upgrading it. If there is a specific new feature you want in the next release, then go ahead and upgrade immediately. Upgrades can be a problem. An associate upgraded one of my computers earlier this year and it broke the machine. It didn't harm the hardware, but we couldn't get the programs on the machine run for over two months until we were able to figure out what had caused the problem and downgraded the OS to the older version. I think you should be a little cautious about upgrading machine willy-nilly. . -- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.
