The download of Ubuntu went fine. Burning a CD/DVD took 6 tries!
After that, though, it was smooth sailing. Ubuntu found my wireless network & prompted me to install the proprietary NVIDIA driver for my graphics card.
Yay.

Next time, don't waste time or plastic on burning CD's. Just install through UNetbootin, which only requires a working OS on the laptop (or on a bootable device like a floppy disc, USB drive or (sic) CD). It downloads the whole installation for you on the fly too, so you don't need anything but UNetbootin and a working internet connection (connected through ethernet).
Very cool - I did not know about that thanks.
My child was sleeping near our ethernet port though so last night it wouldn't have been an option anyway.
Cheers,
Mike
