FULLY functional install of Ubuntu 10.10 to USB stick in a WinXPenviroment
 

I'm not sure there is such a thing as "fully functional" Ubuntu 10.10 :( I
have yet to get anything to work with it other than the programs that come
with it, none of which I need, the ones I need won't work. Either they won't
"make" or install and if they do get past those two points the sound doesn't
work.....

1. Please do NOT TOP POST in this group.

2. Perhaps you should post a thread of your own to discuss this rather
than hijacking someone else's.

Just trying to make a point by, um, breaking the same rule.

Remember: do as I say, not as I do, and ignore that man behind the curtain....

Around here we post at the bottom.

What software do you need? If it is in the repositories (a /lot/ is
there) you needn't 'make' anything.
