    Well, there is some way the loader figures out I have a nVidia video 
card. And the first boot it comes up and you select a few things and 
then it shows up with an odd thing to click which says it will d/l the 
non-ubuntu nVidia driver software. It does and when a kernel update 
comes it remembers to bring along the nVidia software as well.

    How about a first choice when clicked that will d/l either evolution 
or thunderbird. It is quick and easy and lets you decide which your using.
