You could install from the Maverick Trinity CD, then upgrade him in a few
days, or at your convenience. That's what I did on the machine I'm typing
this on. The Maverick mirror seems to be partially working now. If you
put /home on a separate partition, it's easy to upgrade without having to
backup & restore users' files.
Yes, the snag is that I and Ubuntu never seem to be able to live together. :-(
Alan Pope tells me that i can't expect Ubuntu to love me until I first love
it.
But that is certainly one of the possibilities. I shall have to give it
serious consideration. I shall have to ask my husband which possibility he
is prepared to consider.
Thanks for the information. It is a good sign that any of the mirrors is up.
