Subject: Re: [ubuntu-us-ma] pangolin installation fails
 
The bodhihanzen blog post totally fixed the problem of
my netbook not booting properly after an the pangolin

installation.  This machine can only use unity2d which I am
now giving a fair evaluation although I still prefer KDE
for day to day tasks. I can now start the tasks of
migrating this machine from Narwhal 11.04 to Pangolin 12.04

Thanks for your patience for helping out with the forensics
on the poulsbo drivers

I still would like to contribute my time in using launchpad
but my ignorance in use of irc has made this a rather
disruptive process
