Good sysadmins don't ever destroy something that works before making sure that the new thing works better. To that end. making a copy of menu-normal.lst (say, to menu-normal.lst.orig) may help you out tremendously if you make a mistake. Also, if you modify menu-normal.lst, make sure you make a backup of it, because normal system maintenance (such as applying a new kernel from the manufacturer) may destroy your changes; you want to store them someplace where you can put them back. I fight this little battle with Ubuntu all the time, since Ubuntu insists it's on hd1 when it's really on hd0. Here’s the correction for above-mentioned error:

apt-get update
apt-get install linux-image-2.6.18-5-686

I just couldn't find anything I liked about it other than that nice handy bar they give you at the bottom (which I can get with gDesklets). <br /> <br /> I really love top and bottom panels, gOS didn't have what I liked. <br /> <br /> I guess if you're a casual computer user, then gOS would be alright, but it looks feels a lot like OS X.

Using Ubuntu installed with Wubi. Lets me access my Windows files, network, and printer, without any problems with partitioning or redefining the Windows files as FAT [which I understand is needed in a dual-boot, separate partition environment]. If the Ubuntu-derivatives had a Wubi-type installer, they might be more attractive to a Windows user. Just a thought. Not a Linux expert at all. Windows user. Using Ubuntu installed with Wubi.
