The normal install hung @ 65% so I did an expert install and all went well. I don't have sound yet, but I installed on my KVM at home on my 19" monitor. Took it to his place tonight and the monitor, and wireless just worked. Again, wireless wouldn't work with DHCP but works well with static. He's just turned 77 and been using computers for only 3-4 years so I'm impressed with his competence and flexibility in agreeing to try a new setup. I ran him through thunderbird, (which I used in Windows first to convert his mail from outlook), firefox (which he had been using the windows version of) and open office. OO 1.9 beta had a problem with closing once you'd opened a file (it seems to hang on pressing quit or the close box)/ So, I went back to 1.1.3 which did exactly what he wants. Allows him to print receipts for his club and the accompanying mailing labels. I'll post more as he adjusts or not. Either way, overall Hoary is good and solid and now good enough to give to complete neophytes. Another reason to thank the developers - thanks team! <TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> Kind Regards Russell ================== www.windsorcycles.com.au bikes.no-ip.info Linux user #369094 ================== </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>
