Sorry - no - I have Windows and want to add Ubuntu. The reason for making sure I had the Dell CD was to get this stuff together BEFORE starting, in case of the installation going pear-shaped. In fact, after a couple of Twitters on the subject, I'm having a go at installing Ubuntu in a Virtual PC (which seems to be working well, apart from the fancy graphic effects, which to be honest aren't a big deal to me.)
