    Thanks for the tip. I will reformat it to Ext3 or something later so i can copy my \home from my Eee PC and sync them over my AT&T uverse network.

    I notice i can't type a capital u. It must be set up as a hotkey for some thing.

    Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

          I ordered the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 1.5 TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive STAC1500100 for 75.15 that's 69.99 for the drive, 9.68 for super saver shipping an 5.16 Tax 5-8 business days. I couldn't afford to get in on Monday since they would charge a lot for shipping. You should check Amazon.com before you buy something because there is a great chance you will get it cheaper. :cool: I will post more in a few days. Hopefully the notebook install will work better than this broken netbook install. Firefox is all wonky on my ASUS Eee netbook 901. That's this computer.

            I just checked and the last UPS tracking update said that my drive had departed Union city. Union city is about 90 miles away. I'll check again in a few hours. Time to go recharge some brain cells. I mean... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

              The hard drive just arrived moments ago! I am going to sut this computer down so I can work on my laptop. I just relized if I put kubuntu on thyis huge drive then I can keep Winblow$ on my notebooks drive and make a dual boot system. I wounder if kubuntu can use it as is or If I will need to reformate it.

                I had to download the 64 kubuntu 12.04.1 since I only had a 12.04 disk. I uses ISO recorder in Wiblow$. Winblow$ messed up something and when I tried to run ISO recorder it just kept trying to initialize over and over and over and... I uninstalled ISO recorder and Winblow$ told me that a Micro$oft program had tried to install twice and the second install did not succeed! After i uninstalled everything i reinstalled ISO and it burned the disk faster than k3b or whatever its called. I suspect k3b is probably better quality as i have never had a problem from it. Now i will flip the disk and burn my light scribe label on the disk label side. I need to remember to download the linux version so kubuntu can use it, unless the installer does it for me.

                FYI the post count on this forum is not updating.

                  ISO recorder was probably set to a higher burn speed ,,,,which with a ISO is not good ,you want to burn a ISO at as slow a speed as possible to prevent a missing bit or bite hear or there!!
                  their IS a linux client for light scribe I had it working on my old desktop ,,,but cant remember what it was called,,the installer will not grab it for you though.

                    I rembered you can't download a DVD version of yet just the CD version so that's why it seemed so fast. I installed from my DVD. I used my new 1.5 Terra Byte USB 2-3 Segate Hard drive that got from the nice UPS lady a few hours ago. I still have Winblow$ vista home 64 bit on my internal drive. There is an empty folder on the desktop is that normal? a Plasmoid widget. How can an empty Plasmoid widget be created?

                    I saw a linux version of the Light Scribe software on their downloads page a while back. I don't know if there is a ubuntu package but i'm sure there is a debian package since debian is one of the oldest distros in the solar system -I think NASA uses Linux code on their space probes-
