edgy finally installed

[MICHAEL WEAVER <michaelweaver1 btinternet com>]

   With the help of some Sighted people at Hudlug, Edgy is now 
installed on my laptop. It was done through the Alternative CD and 
accessibility options had to be set after the installation.
There must be some kind of problem with the desktop CD which affects 
certain laptops and even desktops, something which makes it consume too 
much memory when running Ubuntu Edgy as Live which prevents Orca from 
running or just slows down Edgy altogether because even running the 
Desktop CD as Live without the addition of Orca was a problem.
Apparently someone posted something about a problem regarding Swap and 
something about if you have less than 128 K RAM it would cause problems 
which would affect the installation.
In the words of a comic caracter "I don't believe it."
I say this because of the number of CDs I thought I made into coasters 
while trying to install it so maybe my disks I burned were not bad after 
all.
Ubuntu boots up quick enough and it seems to responde to keystrokes 
quicker, the only problem I seem to be having at the moment is that I 
can't seem to read a document typed in Openoffice Writer, it wasn't 
reading what I was typing in and the Arrow keys were not responding.
This maybe a problem either because of stuff I haven't set in the Orca 
preferences or it may be because I haven't had chance to update Edgy 
because it was about 10 PM yesterday when it finished installing from my 
Alternative CD and I could have been sat around for another hour or 
whatever just waiting to update the Laptop over the wireless network at 
Vox Bar wwhich is where I do my system upgrades until I get Ubuntu on my 
desktop at home which has a Broadband connection as I don't have a 
wireless Router at home for my Laptop and I don't have the laptop set up 
for my Btinternet account although I am hoping to have this done before 
the end of December when someone from my LUG is coming to help me dual 
boot my Desktop which at the moment only has Windows on it.
