[GLLUG] Help for a newbie. Installing Ubuntu

[Marcus Harriott]

The secure boot switch is just about the ONLY button that can be  
switched in boot manger - but it still doesnt work with the secure  
boot in either position..

I thinks I shall give up and get a Novatech!  Thanks to all for the  
tips!
