========================
Charles, a good morning to you.

	Still not network of any flavour on this Toshiba when in XPP. U'u is doing
fine. I got a set of Recovery CDs coming from Toshiba.ca. It seems that Toshiba
has it own way of loading the pertinent stuff on their legacy machines. When
redoing my brand new Toshiba to Win-7, I faced the same problem, luckily, I had
saved the "TOSAPINS" folder and in it was all the drivers, network,LAN,WLAN and
all. I tried them on this sick Toshiba but it is 32 bit and mine is 64 bit.
Nogo !

 CS> Generally, you should load XP first, then Ubuntu.  GRUB will "see" the
 CS> XP boot sector and add it to its boot menu giving you dual boot
 CS> capability.  If you do it the other way around, XP will overwrite GRUB
 CS> and you will only be able to boot XP.

	I did, thank you, and it worked wonders but still no network in XP. So, I
G-Parted the whole HD to one large partitions to have only U'u on it, waiting
for the CDs to get here. Runs fine, I did 247 updates on 8.04. This would be a
very viable machine but they want XPP back on it.


 CS> Yes, I read about you giving Louis a Thinkpad.  Are you close enough to
 CS> Louis to drive to his home and help him learn how to use it?  I guess
 CS> you can always setup remote access from you to him.

      Got my first two messages from Louis yesterday, all is not lost !
