Agreeing with Sam Watkins, go ahead and install the distro you actually *want* on the box rather than trying to upgrade. Since there's no data on there yet, no loss, right?
Exception: if Linspire has special hardware-specific modules that aren't in Ubuntu or Knoppix or Mepis or whatever. Note: back up /etc at the very least, so you have a known set of good settings in case whichever installer you use doesn't detect the hardware perfectly. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabootu's Minister of Proofreading http://www.jabootu.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
