Dear Dad

No, I don't want the Ubuntu CD back. Do with it as you like.

The main reason we gave you the CD was so you could wipe your hard drive so you could re-install windows. Did that work?

I'm glad you took the time to try Ubuntu off of the CD. I'm sorry it's not working so well. :-(

Speakers - I forgot that you run off of that little dock thing - this may be causing the problem (maybe the Ubuntu CD doesn't have the correct drivers for the dock). But also check to make sure the volume settings on the computer are not muted.

Printer and anything else you plug into your computer - is not going to work because you are running Ubuntu off of a CD. The Ubuntu CD doesn't have any drivers for printers/ipods/scanners/cameras/pdas - there is not enough room on a CD to have this information.
NONE, NONE of you CD's will work with Ubuntu. NONE. Why? Because you own Window's CDs not Linux CD's. If you do manage to get something installed off of one of your CD's it still won't work. In conclusion: None of your computer toys will work unless you formaly install Ubuntu - which we are not recomending at this time.

As for micro Flash - thats a weird one. The internet browser (Firefox) may tell you to install additional plugins to see the page correctly - but you should still be able to get to your email - it just wont have all the flash parts. I went here to see the comcast login - it doesnt look like you need flash, but... I dont know. Some web sites wont have all the pretty stuff untill you install flash - and you can't install flash unless you install Ubuntu first (because you can't install something on a CD).

The purpose of the Ubuntu CD in general is to introdce people to the Ubuntu user interface. It's not ment to replace a real operating system (Ubuntu running off of a CD is not a real operating system) - many things will be lacking. The reason Ubuntu released the CD was to show Window and Mac users what a Linux operating system looked like.

I LOVE YOU!

INfo

Mom - I will email you the address - tomorrow - LOVE!

Dad - Once you have opened a terminal window, you type the following:

cat /dev/zero>/dev/hda

and press enter. (there is a space in between cat and /)

If the computer asks you to log in as root or sudo, you must type:

sudo su -

and press enter. It may forget the cat command. If nothing happens, retype

cat /dev/zero>/dev/hda

Also - you may want to wait until the weekend to tackle this - I don't know how long it will need to run.
