how much download it will take....
i have only 300 mb of download left in my plan............
Azad,
One more thing that I just noticed. The support dates for Ubuntu 7.04 expired
on 19th October 2008.

I think this means that the repositories for that release have been taken off
the main Ubuntu servers. Thus it will be hard for you to configure your
computer if you do not upgrade.

Hi Azad,
Sorry for the poor response from this group. I understand the difficulties of
changing over to free software, I have been through that myself. I'll try to
help you as much as I can.
First though, it would be much better if you could upgrade to a newer version
of Ubuntu. Ubuntu 8.10, called the 'Intrepid Ibex', is the latest release, and
you should be able to upgrade your 7.04 to 8.10 without re-installing the OS.
The steps for doing this are as follows..
* Open up a terminal... I'm assuming you're using gnome, so go to
Applications-->Accessories-->Terminal
* Type " update-manager -d " (without quotes)
* The window will show that a new upgrade is available, and you can click the
button to upgrade.
* Ubuntu will ask for your password, and then proceed to download and upgrade
to 8.10. This will take some time, depending on your internet connection speed.
Once you have done this, please post your results, and I'll guide you through
the rest. If you're not able to do this, let me know, and we'll try to
configure your system with 7.04 itself. It is easily possible to play audio and
video files by installing a few packages. I'm sorry that this group can have a
detailed discussion on discouraging n00bs than actually posting some sensible
instructions. This is not directed at anyone, it's just sad.

Dear Azad,
In order for anyone to help, first get the latest version of ubuntu
installed on your computer. Go to
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download, to download OR request any of
the LUG members / coordinator for a copy, i am sure they would be happy
to give one to you.
P.S. : It doesn't help to repeatedly sending the same message over and
over again to the list. Instead try to help yourself as well, look
around. Ubuntu has such an excellent forum, www.ubuntuforums.org. Join
the forums, you will find solutions to all your problems (I don't mean
to say you shouldn't use the list to ask questions).
