Hi. Couldn't have done it without this. I did have to go to the Medibuntu site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu in the section 'Adding the Repository'. The rest I followed this page.
Thank you very much! Cheers,
Thomas
I tried several sites and none of them worked for my new 9.10 install, but this one worked perfectly, thanks!
yes,
just works. This is my first experience with linux and i.m very surprised!
thanks a lot!
This was awesome! I followed same plan as shane.
This is so kool - I wonder if it would be smart to make a 1-liner or a script... just to make it real fast...
That I think I'll do one of these days =)
Finally! A solution to playing DVD's now all i need is that mic to work and bye bye dual boot!
Excellent post. Got me squared away in less than 5 minutes. Appreciate the help!
