Interested as to what you mean by intrusive though?

I really hated the networking side of things in 7.04. Whatever they changed really annoyed me to the point where I went back to 6.10. There were just a few things generally with ubuntu that just felt like I couldnt see what was going on where I really should have been able to see.

Ok guys, if you go to http://146.87.15.17/ you will be able to grab some ISOs. I will make the 7.10 ones available in a few minutes. Use those over anyone who pays for bandwidth's servers as I have lots of it for free. I just ask it stays within BD, if it doesn't I will pull the plug!

Will try that when I get home. I tried to install Feisty and Edgy on my main rig and it did the same and I couldn't get either installed.
Similar happened on the old laptop with Feisty but it was happy to install Edgy

yeah, press F6 on the boot menu and it'll pop up with the boot command thingy which you'll see "quiet splash" at the end of, you just stick 'no' in front of each.

*edit*
any ideas how to get my wireless keyboard working during setup/live boot - as usual it working pre-OS including the Ubuntu boot menu, but then doesn't work once the disk runs beyond that point.

OK guys, http://146.87.15.17:1194 should be up and ready to go for the downloads. JANET seems to be suffering a bit tonight so the desktop mirrors were very slow, the x64 ISO wont be done yet, the x86 one might be though (Should be about 690Mb).

Im using this as a kind of speed test too - so if you could let me know what sort of speeds you get that would be ace!

Downloading the i386 of Ubuntu and was getting 180-250 average but its now reaching 390 very easily and averaging about 350. On BT btw.

Just installed it - it's pretty! Still need to get to grips with the changes - but it's not too different as far as the basics are concerned...

Excellent

Got the usual blank screen when I tried to install it but followed advice and it worked a treat.
One slight glitch was that it kept doing it when re-booting so I had to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to get it to boot without interference from me.

Working good now, will have a proper play over the weekend.
