grml and ubuntu worlds apart!

[Jude DaShiell]

Yesterday I had some sighted assistance with ubuntu 6.06 accessible 
version and we got as far as disk partitioning and the system insisted on 
doing it automatically or so it seemed.  What it actually did was to go 
into deep space automatically and never return even after 3.5 hours of 
waiting.  This was on a vintage 1999 dell dimension tower computer and the 
sighted assistance had been installing things as far back as the days when 
Minix was the system to try.  The ubuntu disk passed integrity check with 
flying colors before not doing the install on a 120GB hard drive too. 
Grml on the other hand which also passed a disk integrity test the night 
before took me about five minutes to figure out how to get it talking and 
the speech came up so fast after post and the boot line being keyed in it 
was surprising.  Maybe ubuntu has better luck next time I don't know we 
may know by November.  Chuck, thanks much for the tip on the sources.list 
file.
