Hi JD, 
Once again thanks for your efforts !

Ubuntu 7.10 installed like a charm on my notebook, 
what I cannot tell from earlier releases !?

Generally I prefer LTS versions and am not keen to change and play every
6 months again and again with some struggles !!!

On another notebook I may go for a test as you suggested but preferable
6.06 ?!?

>From there I may experience an upgrade to 7.04 without risks of loosing
important data ;-)

Cheers, svobi
