another noobish question here... I keep reading 'no updates except bug fixes' now is that really really true? I mean when gaim 2.0 comes out next month it wont go into ubuntu? Now that OO.o 2.0 is out ubuntu won't include an updated package? or did I miss something in my reading?
you did not miss. a released version of ubuntu gets only security updates(bug fixes) and new versions go into the development version, and backports.

Hi, Just burnned a live CD 5.04 and tried to boot. It goes until menu that ask language. Then keyboard stop working. I tried many boot options but same result. Went through Forums but found nothing. Can any body help.
Try burning the CD as slow as possible. My FC4 disks all failed checksum and wouldn't install glibc (which is kinda important) when I burned them at 24x.
