Boot logo
Rather than show the dmesg information during boot-up, Ubuntu 9.10 displays this minimal boot screen based on the Ubuntu logo. The same logo is used during installation, and later on when booting into Ubuntu 9.10 from the hard drive.

i its me again

well me old roo its lezlow here although 9.10 is officialy released now i.ve had it for 10 months at least and it wouldn,t upgrade on my 9.04 , my 9.04 has just asked me to upgrade and i,ve refused ,WHY and those of you who don,t know i,m running super ubuntu 9.04 now the difference is that a group of hackers have added little extas to the super and it can be tempormental sometimes just ment i,ve been playing around for years with ubuntu and this is the best yet ? now it has its pitfalls if you try to do to much installing of 3rd party software ,like adding to much MAC or WINDOWS stuff then what can happen , is it creates a bug, so when you try to update or use command dos/terminal it comes up with faultlistings,but dosen,t actually specify the faults? the reason is[i think] the debian has become corrupted and can,t run your updates/new installs 1 possible reason/simalar instance is when windows says the file is unreadable / ubuntu is simalar because your trying to install too many /maybe small programs it corrupt the debian? the computer continues to run after a crash or two just that you can,t update or upgrade NOW mark my words whilst we all wan,t ubuntu to be great if its not broke don.t fix it? so get you 9.10 on a disk[free] and put it on a new sys., say,s LEZLOW
