[GLLUG] Ubuntu question

[Stanley C. Mortel]

Frank,

If you install 6.06 it will boot live from the CD but have an icon on 
the desktop to install.  In that version there was no other option, for 
the desktop install disk anyway.  You can double click on the icon and 
it will install everything to the hard drive.  If you want, you can then 
upgrade from there.  Bring it over sometime if you want to do it together.
