Well, I went and got the desktop cd for ubuntu, and am wondering, if I decide that I like the system as it is, can I install it to the hard drive, and what's the procedure for that, I didn't find any docs on the cd to help me out and I've only played with a very early version of ubuntu on a slow machine so didn't have good results. I saved some instructions from here on the list for starting it with speech, but wonder if they're for the cd I got or is there another one I should download. Thanks much!
