[ubuntu-uk] Scambled screen & Beginning Ubuntu

[Greg Herdman]

Hi Everyone,
I too can vouch for Keir Thomas & Jaime Sicam's book - although it 
hasn't got me out of my scrambled scren 'hole' yet, it was a real 
support while I was styarting out on the Linux road. Add to that the 
Live user mode on the DVD which is still in use until I can summon up 
the courage to reinstall the whole shooting match.

The scrambled screen issue is still fouling up my 
all-singing-al;l-dancing use of Ubuntu, but Live user from the DVD is a 
real get-you-home utility; I can access my hard drive, print, access 
removable media and go online - all from the DVD. I've just not made use 
of e-mail access since everything has to be reconfigured every time the 
system is started. As a promotional tool - to show non-believers how 
Ubuntu looks and works - Live user is a gem.

Any more hints on my scrambled screen issue would be much appreciated!

Greg
