No, I just handed in the target for further fiddling and cloning by the 
company who supplies the OS to the store (voluntary work, BTW - this is 
going to be the only laptop in Denmark to be sold with Ubuntu 
pre-installed. If the sell 20 they're lucky, and then they'll have made 
some £200. However, it's still a very big step in the direction of 
jump-starting the market :-))

Yes, this is really something of an eyeopener - if this is really an 
ext4 issue, I mean - really does highlight the pros and cons of 
switching. (I'm still on ext3, mainly because I kept my /home after 
switching to lucid).
