So my trusty notebook needs service and I need to survive while it takes a trip to Japan and back (a consequence of buying a Japanese model, at least it is still under warranty). While it is gone I am using an external USB disk with everything on it, I can plug it into j-random PC, talk the bios into booting from it, and I am off to the races. Mostly. I am running Ubuntu 8.04. How do I get support for hardware that wasn't present when I did the install? Specifically, it is the trackpads in two different laptops that are being ignored. Thanks, -kb, the Kent who can't believe how big and heavy j-random Dells can be when compared to his dinky subnotebook. P.S. Modern Windows people can't do this, can they? Everytime they try to boot on a different machine MS thinks it is another pirating instance...?? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
