Hey -you guys are GREAT !!
I put PLoP on diskette & the Saucy Salamander Daily Build .iso on USB and
successfully booted off USB.
So I was able to boot from USB this time because PLoP uses *Force USB

ignores the EHCI controller?
Couldn't read any of the* Install* screens (garbled) but
Should have hit reply "all" on this yesterday. Think a minimal install

thanks,

Hi, currently on 12.04 & just discovered it's not LTS (like Ubuntu), so
might as well go with Saucy.
I just got the Bluetooth (Bluez) devices working, the laptop entering sleep
mode when closing lid & WiFi working. So why not install 13.10 & do it all
