Actually, it might. When I first tried Kubuntu, the Live CD (both Dapper and Edgy) wouldn't boot, no matter which cheat I used. However, the alternate install, which is much closer to the Debian installer worked fine. Etch installed on the same machine with no difficulties at all. But the Live Kubuntu CD's still won't boot. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF1CzAiXBCVWpc5J4RAkHOAJ93hCUXyweieJ/13epLeqCOARCPqACfZT7u qPPBkdXkvn8bWMVIcAl6Wh0= =HQak -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
