If what I just said is true you can burn the software from your laptop (that you download off of the internet) to a cd or dvd and then put it into your desktop and install it that way. <br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: H.S. <hs.samix@gmail.com><br>To: ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com<br>Sent: Saturday, July 14, 2007 11:34:57 AM<br>Subject: Re: Tips for slow internet access user<br><br><div>Fajar Priyanto wrote:<br>> Hello all,<br>> Internet connection in my country is quite expensive, so not everybody has a <br>> broadband. <br>> I am a RH/Suse users for so many years and now I've been exploring Ubuntu.
