All finished.  :2thumbs:

The version of Ubuntu that's running on this netbook (yes, that netbook) offers a 5GB cloud drive/space and I was just playing around a little with it... the value posted was the unlock code.

That looks interesting Steve, but looks like it will only work on 64 bit, would have liked to have a play with it too :(

You can get the c64, c128 or amiga software and it will show you the old blue screen and you can code on it. You can also download and play all of the old games from back them.

To dual-boot, you'll need extra space on a hd or an extra hd. All linux versions will show you your hd's and you can choose which drive and how much space to allocate to it. So check how much space you have left first! Do not use all of the unavailable space if using the same drive that Windows is on. Windows will need to grow eventually.

Choose the amount of space you want it to use then let it choose it's partitions for linux and then you're all set.

Yes, but was probably a caching issue. They are back now.
