Challenges installing Ubuntu

Adventures testing my NetBook for Ubuntu — then installing and using it. Remember, I am a Mac user. A power Mac user who started on DOS, but prefers ease and efficiency. The NetBook: Compaq Mini with Intel Atom processor. Similar to the HP 500 that is listed as officially compatible. (This gave me hope. There are online boards full of compatibility posts but way too many for me to sift through. Plus, only the latest version matters.) This is my documentation of my foray into Ubuntu on a friend’s NetBook.
