No response to this so far....   <grimace>

But, after much harranging and scrapping with this, I DID apparently get Ubuntu (Gutsy) onto the 
drive in my old e-Machine.  (the 'e' stands for evil)

As it was starting, the grub started and the "Starting up ... " came up with two apparent errors. 
They are:

	1.  [25.354949] invalid compressed format (err=1)
	2.  [25.355713] Kernal panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown wn-block(0,0)

Any ideas on how to mount this and run the system???
