[HLUG] ubuntu 6.06 install cd

[j michaelson]

hi julian,

i was a bit suprised by the install cd that i got. it booted up like a
live cd and then i could install by clicking an icon on the desktop.
bit strange, at first i thought i'd downloaded the wrong cd.

i think i preferred the text based installer. it was a damn site
quicker than waiting for an unnecessary live cd desktop to get going.
