Not a big deal though, I can use external speakers when I need to. Also you'll see in the post that I did use the 32-bit cd and had no problems with it; I was just recording my experiences with the 64-bit disks. Outline_Please: Do you want to dual-boot Windows, or just run Linux exclusively? I never bothered trying to get a dual-boot on that machine, but I've been using Ubuntu-only on the laptop (installed via the above process) and it's been working well. bugmenot: I know about the master volume, but even turned all the way up it’s still not as loud as I’d prefer.
