[Klug-general] Ubuntu upgrade problem

[Michael E. Rentell]

Well I tried the 'upgrade' route and that failed, hanging shortly after 
it started. So I did a new install. Could be that's the root of my 
problem. If this doesn't clear up soon I will have to put Natty back in 
and wait for improvements to arrive.
