If I had heard of ubuntu earlier I will have moved to it ages ago. Just a
few fine tunes but the whole plan of things for ubuntu is just great.

You need to make a separate partition (or use a separate drive). I
think the Ubuntu installer can do the partitioning now, but I recommend
doing it beforehand with a separate utility like GParted
(http://gparted.sourceforge.net/) which is included on the Ubuntu
LiveCD. Do be sure to backup first.

You can get by with less than 5 GB for the main partition, but obviously
more is better :); this main partition should be formatted ext2 or ext3,
but the Ubuntu installer can do this for you. Just select manual
partition, and you'll be able to assign each partition, and choose
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partitioningwhether to format (you
obviously have to format the main partition)
Also, I recommend you create a separate, larger partition for your
data. Since you're dual-booting, format this FAT32 (Linux still doesn't
have perfect support for NTFS, the default Windows filesystem).
You may want to read http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partitioning ,
which seems to cover these issues pretty thoroughly.
Anyway, welcome, and ask away!

It could be the CD, or possibly the CD drive itself. I would try
burning another CD first.

This might require administrator privileges. Try first:

I don't think that's enabled by default.

Feisty (http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/). )

That's weird. I don't know if you fixed yet. I have had some
situations where I wanted to turn down my volume. Used the hardware
buttons on my thinkpad and the onscreen icon showed the "mute" mark . .
. The "X". But I could still hear some very low volume sound. I never
tracked down what is going on, but I suspect that there is some other
"system" that is also driving sound. I say "system" because I don;t know
if hardware or software . . .
I suspect that you have something turned off that is not showing. How
to figure out what? don't know.
I forgot from thread, did you check preferences from having the volume
control open? It is a different behavior from the "preferences" you see
when your right click the panel Icon. Unless different in feisty, there
are a number of check boxes that say what tabs or sliders are visible in
volume control. Before looking for stuff outside of the mixer, I'd
probably note which are checked by default, then check them all and look
through the volume control panel tabs and sliders looking for something
turned off, even if it seems like it should not matter.
If that does not do it then there may be more than one sound controller
and I'd have no idea where to go from here.

....... I do have a few minor problems after upgrading to feisty.
I'll resolve most of them myself but can someone try this command in a
terminal to see if they get past the advert and actually listen to the radio
station? It's stopped working under feisty but the url is still good as I've
tried it in windoooze.
It's not a dodgy URL, it actually goes to xfm.co.uk

Wuss :-P
I wondered about that too so I tried :-
# defoptions=
^ trailing space
and that works fine BUT update-grub strips the trailing space so the
next update-grub sets the line back to quiet splash.
I also tried :-
# defoptions=fish fingers
because we all know penguins like fish fingers and upgrade-grub lets
this through and makes no changes to the defoptions line.
The machine also boots OK proving my theory about penguins liking fish
fingers :-)

With Edgy I had Xorg with Nvidia Xorg binaries (not the debs).
But after upgrading to Feisty, Xorg failed to start saying that there
isn't a suitable server for Nvidia and returns to text mode console.
But I have heard of a new Xorg feature that in case of these problems,
it should revert to VESA drivers?

Already fixed (committed, but not available until a post-release kernel
update). See Launchpad bug #105582.
