canned triple boot

 

Well I s*^&% canned the triple boot last week. Was kinda scary wondering if anything would boot. Started with a local purge on kubuntu trying to clear some space…and for a change followed instructions and selected to keep the two letter ‘en’ as opposed to the ‘en_US’(when I used it on ubuntu feisty I used the ‘en_US’ and it worked fine). Evidently it trashed my apt sources and I couldn’t upgrade to gutsy or install anything for that matter and I was going to get rid of the debian anyway due to lack of drive space. Had to use my super grub disk to fix windows mbr and remove grub …got windoze to boot on its own without debian/grub help. Burned a kubuntu gutsy cd…but when I installed it(tried at least) it was corrupt…so I installed edgy then did two allnight upgrades to feisty then gutsy. Seems that in kubuntu or ubuntu the only browser I can get flash and audio/video to work with is seamonkey , flash seems to crash firefox…then this last time seems like it was the theme. But I am trying flock right now…I am sorta afraid to flash it…and haven’t tried movieplayer with it yet.
