Assistance installing Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS

[Donna Windom]

Sorry I haven't responded for a while. I've had Internet connectivity
issues, but mainly I've had a heavy work load so I probably wont be
able to work on this again until next week. Thanks for all your
troubleshooting and patience. I am determined to solve this problem
and learn to use Linux.
