Revision history [back]

Given my suspicion of a faulty Ubuntu install which I attribute to a corrupted XP load and/or too limited resources I am reinstalling from DVD (made on my new laptop). This way I can make the machine pure Ubuntu Linux which is what I wanted in the first place. I will reinstall ROS when finished. I predict better results. Keep you posted.
