   This has not been my findings. The peripheral disks are only ever needed   
   for special accompaniement SW - most of which is not needed. At least   
   for getting the OS up and running. Of course most new machines come   
   preinstalled.   
      
   You seem very keen to throw accusations around these days. Maybe you   
   need a break?

   I have an HP and it took ages to set up in Linux because of CUPS issues   
   in Ubuntu. In Windows it just worked. Configuring printers in Linux is   
   not trivial a lot of the time.

   Could also be bad numbers in xorg.conf *FAR* too much is possible in   
   the xorg.conf for the nOOB. Bad numbers can even result in dead HW.

   You & BlackTopBum have become increasingly rude & obnoxious for some   
   reason. You wield your knowledge & killfiles as if it makes you judge &   
   jury. A shame as you were a good advocate and helper - when you could   
   still remember how it was for you during your learning process.
