Reinstalling Ubuntu.

[Herzog]

I got horrible news for you. 
Yesterday I read that stuff quits when you "upgrade" or change to Ubuntu 
7.10
That is 7 th year, and 10 th month. It was on a Linux-desktop list. 
The point was to await the fix, but not update.  Driver stuff might have 
been involved, and internet was a part of it.
I may have the message, but that was what I remembered.
