[HLUG] kdenlive - jaunty

[dicegeorge at hotmail dot com]

the magic keys Ctrl-alt-F1 say Ubuntu 8.04.2
thanks

so next move is to make a new partition for home folder, ext3..

i have a friend coming round to do video work,
so maybe upgrade to 8.10 and put kdenlive on that,
when in april is jaunty due?
