That part works fine, and it seems to install fine, but the computer will not boot into ubuntu after it installs. I'm sure this will be fixed, but I just wanted to know if this is a known problem? I do get a message that says invalid CD menu when I put the live CD in the computer, so maybe this has something to do with it.

Since intrepid is a development release, you use it at your own risk. If i breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

I will ahve a look at wubi and accessibility in the coming weeks, but please note that wubi is undergoing a rewrite. I am not sure whether the rewritten version is on the CDs yet, but I do know that things are in a state of flux, and are not likely settled yet, so please bare with us while we sort out these issues.

Thanks for the heads up.
