Did you use the 5.10 out of the box?

The only version supplied in the url you supplied is hoary, as far as I
can tell.



When I install 5.10 "out of the box" (from a burned CD that's worked on
my desktop), the X configuration is all messed up.  Would you post some
sort of walkthrough or something helping the rest of us Ubuntu fans
with HP/Compaq nx9600?  How hard was NDISWrapper to setup?



The X configuration is more immediately an issue.



Thanks!
