installation of Ubuntu 6.10

[Tony Brow]

attn Simon,

I opened Xubuntu, put in the Ubuntu CD. It started to load immediately
and I did some partioning when the time came around. I did not reformat
Xubuntu. Sorry I haven't a clue how to run Synaptic yet and have no idea
what a 'meta-package' is.

Everything seemed to work, except evolution, which is solved.

One difficulty remains, for me a newbie ( and probably most newbies).
One reads for instance: in this," use apt-get-------- whatever. BUT I
ASK  WHAT AREA (S)do I go to? Should I not use 'synaptic' how do I use
synaptic ? Or do I use ' applications>accessories>terminal' ?? If so,
does that apply for most things ? is this part of programming ?

I met with two people from Deception Bay this morning, and they found
the same thing.

Sorry, these are things that, maybe the experienced people in Linux have
forgotten and assume every newbie knows a lot already when they get
started
