[ubuntu-uk] 12.04 oddities

[Anton Kanishchev]

Which wireless card do you have?
I tried 12.04(lts, x86 version) on 3 computers so far ( 1 from 2005-2006)
and everything worked without any unnecessary configurations. are you using
a cd to install 12.04 from? I know the image is 701mb which technically
doesnt fit on a cd but imgburn seemed happy to burn it in my case. I had
lots of problems with that cd and eventually put 12.04 on a  usb
stick-flawless installation. If you used a cd I'd recommend a live usb
stick-much quicker in any case.
