Hello Mr. Thomas: sure appreciate your hard work! soon after reporting the problem, a work around showed on my screen; I thought I reported that though I did not know what got me past the hurdle; shortly, I saw Ubuntu 9.04 & upgraded from 8.10 without getting Studio Ubuntu 8:10 perfectly. But, I found it beneficial. Then, my work went wild and I have been forced to use my PC with microsoft installed.
Many, many thanks!
