Hi All<div><br></div><div>To add to the earlier email, i am using Ubuntu 8.04.</div><div><br></div><div>I have plugged the device into my USB port, and nothing has popped up etc which would make me think that it has been detected.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So far i have tried running files directly from the install CD, but nothing happens. I think i am still applying the windows approach, i.e. open the folder and double click the autorun.exe., .inf .whatever else i see :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>I was actually hoping that it would appear on my desktop with a 'new hardware has been found' etc. but alas nothing.</div><div><br></div><div>All my Google attempts at an answer keeps bringing me back with results on how to install Linux, not a device.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks all</div><div><br></div><div>Paddy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/11/3 David Carpenter <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:david.carpenter@nornir.co.uk">david.carpenter@nornir.co.uk</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hi Matthew<br>
<br>
This is the right place, I'm sure someone will be able to help you!<br>
<br>
Others may come back with more questions, but could you tell us which<br>
version of Linux you are using?<br>
<br>
Also any more details of what you are struggling with? Do you know if<br>
the device has been detected? What have you tried etc...<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
David<br>
