Hi Daniel,
Would you be able to give a brief list of the software you used,
codec's and/or any tips,lessons or pointers? :-)
I know there are lots of other people who would find this a very
useful (known) starting point.
Cheers,

Greetings Tatian,
A couple of questions?
- Is EHD - External hard drive?
- Can you boot from this harddrive? (This would be a BIOS setting.
Most modern computers can.)

itself, and have a play wi

You don't (shouldn't) need to reinstall grub.
Boot into Ubuntu.
- do you know which partition your Wondows OS is on?
Have a look at /boot/grub/menu.lst
You need to edit this file, and add something like the following.
-
title Windows 95/98/NT/2000
root (hd0,0)

Senectus,
Well spotted :-)
It's interesting to see how Choice would treat a 'product' that is backed by
a community organisation, rather than a company.

Hi Chris,
How about a 'postage paid' shipping service?
eg.

Subsequent CD sets are free if the "cd shipper" is returned with a

You would need to come up with a suitable "cd shipper" (cardboard? plastic?)

You can install Ubuntu on a USB stick and boot from that.
- unetbootin - General tool for putting an ISO
image onto a USB stick
- usb-createor-gkk (or -kde) - Ubuntu specific tool.
